Purpose

Processes views

The Processes dashboard provides a summary of CPU and memory usage by process, as well as a table of process details. If a host does not have process data (for example, because it is monitored by a virtual agent which does not collect process data), then it is possible to create an agent to monitor processes directly from this drill-down view.

How to get here

1
On the Infrastructure Environment dashboard, click the tile reflecting the domain of the host that you want to drill down to. For example, to drill down on a Windows® host, click the Windows tile.
2
Do one of the following:
•
In the Monitoring tab > CPU View, click CPU Usage by Process.
•
In the Monitoring tab > Memory View, click Memory Usage by Process.
•
In the Monitoring tab > Storage View, click Disk IO by Process.
•
Click Explore on the top-right corner of Resource Utilization, and then click Processes on the top-left corner of the display area.
The Processes dashboard is displayed.

Description of embedded views

This dashboard is made up of the following embedded views:

•
CPU At A Glance
•
CPU Usage by Process
•
Memory At A Glance
•
Memory Usage by Process
•
Monitored Processes
•
User Defined Processes (Process Availability Config)
CPU At A Glance
 
Table 18. CPU At A Glance view
Description

This view displays how the CPU resources are being used based on the following:

•
The top five processes using the most CPU. These five processes are the “top consumers” of CPU for the host.
•
The top five processes that have had the largest recent change in CPU usage.
Data Displayed
•
AVG CPU. The average amount of CPU resources spent by the process.
•
Change/hr. The change in the usage of CPU resources.
•
Process Name. The name of the process.
•
Trend. A sparkline indicating the change in the usage of CPU resources.
CPU Usage by Process
 
Table 19. CPU Usage by Process view
Description

This view displays the cumulative CPU usage by processes over time. It shows the total process load on the selected system.

Memory At A Glance
 
Table 20. Memory At A Glance view
Description

This view displays how the memory resources are being used based on the following:

•
The top five processes using the most memory. These five processes are the “top consumers” of memory for the host.
•
The top five processes that have had the largest recent change in memory usage.
Data Displayed
•
AVG Memory. The average amount of memory resources spent by the process.
•
Change/hr. The change in the usage of memory resources.
•
Process Name. The name of the process.
•
Trend. A sparkline indicating the change in the usage of memory resources.
Memory Usage by Process
 
Table 21. Memory Usage by Process view
Description

This view displays the memory usage by processes over time. It shows the load on memory for processes on the selected system.

Monitored Processes
D
Table 22. Monitored Processes view
Description

This view lists all running processes on a given host. The list is sortable, filterable, and allows you to do process searches.

Data Displayed
•
Process Name. The name of the process.
•
Instances. The number of running process instances.
•
CPU Usage, Average. The average percentage of CPU resources that the process is using.
•
CPU Usage, Time. The average amount of time the process is running.
•
Memory, Average. The average percentage of memory resources that the process is using.
•
Memory, Swap Size (Avg). The average amount of memory swap space this process has in one or more paging files.
•
Memory, Working Set Size. The amount of memory currently allocated to this process.
•
Memory, Virtual Size (Avg). The current size of the virtual address space of this process.
User Defined Processes (Process Availability Config)
 
Table 23. User Defined Processes (Process Availability Config) view
Description

This view lists all user-defined processes running on a given host. The list is sortable, filterable, and allows you to do process searches.

NOTE: Make sure to set Report only aggregate process metrics to False, in order to collect all details about process instances.
Data Displayed
•
Process Name. The name of the process.
•
Command Line. The Command Line works with the Process Name to filter out process instances, as needed.
•
Expected Process Count. The number of expected process instances.
•
Matched Process Count. The number of running process instances that match the user-defined process name and command line.
