How do I monitor a process memory usage?

mark.luscombe

I want to monitor a Windows 2008 R2 server process and alert when a memory usage limit is reached. How do I do that?

Change Type of Property to Monitor to 'APM: Component'
Change 'Percent Memory Used' condition to 'Physical Memory Used > 700000000
Add/remove other trigger conditions

Is this what you want?

Hi Mark,

you can try to use 'Component monitor wizard' and 'Advanced alert manager' for this.

1) Orion website -> Settings -> SAM settings -> Component Monitor Wizard -> select Process monitor - WMI or SNMP (screenshot) -> ... finish the wizard

2) Run 'Advanced alert manager' -> set a new alert or use predefined 'High Physical Memory Utilization with Top 10 Processes' (you can edit its trigger condition)

That kind of thing, but I want to be able to say when process x = 700,000K used send a alert, rather then on the percentage of memory usage.

Thank you for the information it has helped alot. If we have mutiple processes with the same name running does it combine the memory used by say all three process for example ot just reoprt on the largest one?
