Monitoring Processes

When you monitor an application, you typically want to check that the application's processes are running properly but recognizing them amongst all the running processes can sometimes be challenging.

The Process Monitoring tool provided by Monitoring Studio allows you to easily check the presence of Windows, UNIX, or Linux processes by specifying one or more of the following criteria:

•	The process name (as it appears in ps or in the Windows Task Manager)

•	The Command line that was used to spawn the process

•	The Username the process is run as

•	The PID (process ID)

Once you have specified the process to be monitored, you just have to indicate which parameters should be monitored.

Advanced privileges may be required to collect process information. In that case, you will be prompt to enter process command credentials that will be used for running OS commands.
