Windows Process (NT_PROCESS)
This application class monitors processes. Icon instances of the NT_PROCESS application appear under the icon labeled Processes (NT_PROCESS_CONTAINER application) and under the NT_PROCESS_GROUP application instances.
Before monitoring the processes, you must specify the processes that you want to monitor using the procedure described in Configuring Manual Process Monitoring and Configuring Automatic Process Monitoring. For information about creating a group of processes to monitor, see Configuring a process group .
Note
The Windows Process monitor type in BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management is referred as the NT_PROCESS application class in BMC PATROL.
