This topic provides information about configuring automatic process monitoring:
To configure automatic process monitoring
- Access the NT_PROCESS application menu (labeled Processes) as described in Accessing KM menu commands, and select the KM menu command Configure Automatic Process Monitoring.
- Change the following values:
Change the PATROL CPU% Threshold by providing the appropriate threshold number. The default is 90%.
Change the number of minutes specified by providing an appropriate number in the field provided. The default is 5.
(To disable this feature, enter any negative number in this field).
PATROL defines high CPU utilization as a value higher than 90% or the value specified by the agent configuration variable AlarmThreshold. To use a different threshold percentage, you must create or update the AlarmThreshold agent configuration variable.
To apply your changes and close the dialog box, click OK.
To cancel your changes and close the dialog box, click Cancel.
Processes that meet the specified requirements are automatically monitored.
When any process consumes high CPU for a period longer than what you specified, PATROL begins monitoring the process and adds the process to the PATROL console, under the NT_PROCESS application (labeled Processes).
If a problem occurs
If the Processes folder is not displaying or it does not contain any processes, check the annotation of _DiscoveryStatus and _CollectionStatus parameters of the NT_OS application class.
To disable automatic process monitoring
To disable automatic process monitoring and monitor only the processes you specifically select, follow these steps:
- Access the NT_PROCESS application menu (labeled Processes) as described in Accessing KM menu commands, and select the KM menu command Configure Automatic Process Monitoring.
- For the length of time specified for high CPU utilization, enter any negative number.
- Click Apply.
