Monitor Process CPU

Monitoring process CPU and memory usage is an essential part of network troubleshooting as it enables you to identify which applications are responsible for most CPU or memory usage. This is especially important if a server becomes slow or unresponsive due to a high CPU load. PRTG Network Monitor is a comprehensive network monitoring utility, which lets you monitor process CPU utilization as well as monitor process memory usage. If a certain threshold is being crossed, you will immediately receive a notification. This gives you the possibility to troubleshoot slow servers before your network's performance is affected.

Similarly, you can use PRTG's ability to monitor process CPU in order to make sure that an important application is running.

PRTG - More Than Process CPU and Memory Usage Monitoring

However, PRTG offers much more than the ability to monitor process memory usage or CPU load. Using SNMP, packet sniffing, and NetFlow, the software tracks bandwidth usage and network traffic. In addition, more than 130 different sensor types check the availability of network devices, measure network performance, and help you with all your troubleshooting needs.

Examples:

• PRTG includes various database sensors for effortless SQL, Oracle, and MySQL monitoring
• The QoS (Quality of Service) sensors allows you to check LAN and WAN latency, jitter, and packet loss
• The SNMP Trap server sensor converts PRTG into a powerful SNMP Trap monitor, which receives and analyzes log messages
• And many more servers for email monitoring (SMTP, POP, Exchange), server monitoring, etc.
• Custom sensors give you even more flexibility
