What is the recommended way to monitor processes on my virtual machines all the time?
Guest Process Investigation (GPI) is not appropriate for constant use.
The recommended method in this situation is to use the appropriate OS monitoring agent, but disable the CPU, Memory, Network and Disk collections. Those collections have to be disabled because virtualized systems will report those metrics incorrectly. Adjust the OS monitoring agent settings. Set the collections to 0 for the ones you want to disable.
This same method is also recommended for collecting Windows Even Logs and Services data from a Virtual Machine
