PSX Process Resource monitoring configuration


Use the PSX Process Resource monitoring to limit the CPU and memory consumption by configuring specified thresholds on the psx_server.xpc process. If the CPU and memory consumption exceed this threshold, the psx_server.xpc process restarts.

Use the parameters in the following table to configure the thresholds for psx_server.xpc process monitoring:

Configuration VariableDescriptionValuesDefault value
/PSX_SERVER_MONITOR_CONFIGURATION/EnableProcessMonitoring

 

Enables or disables the psx_server.xpc monitoring.
  • Set the value to 1 to enable the process monitoring
  • Set the value to 0 to disable the process monitoring
/PSX_SERVER_MONITOR_CONFIGURATION/ProcessMemoryLimitMB

 

Indicates the maximum memory allowed per process.An integer value in megabytes, also known as integer MB or example, 4000 MB. 4000
/PSX_SERVER_MONITOR_CONFIGURATION/MaxCPUPercentageIndicates the maximum CPU usage before triggering an alert or restart.An integer value between 1-100. For example, 9595
/PSX_SERVER_MONITOR_CONFIGURATION/RestartAfterHighCPUMinutes

 

Indicates the time in minutes beyond the CPU threshold. After the time exceeds the threshold, the process restarts. 

A whole number in minutes, also known as integer minutes. For example, 10.10
/PSX_SERVER_MONITOR_CONFIGURATION/MonitorCheckFrequencyMinutes

 

Indicates the time interval between each monitoring cycle. Integer minutes. For example, 2. 2
