Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Handles_usage_in_system |
Indicates the number of handles opened by various processes running in a target Windows virtual machine in the last measurement period. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine the top ten processes in terms of number of handles opened. This information brings to light, those processes with two many opened handles. By closely tracking the handle usage of these processes over time, we can identify potential handle leaks. |
| Handle_growth_above_threshold |
Indicates the number of processes which opens the handles on or above the value defined in the input parameter - HANDLES GROWTH LIMIT. |
Number |
Using the detailed diagnosis of this measure, you can accurately isolate the process(es) that has opened more handles than the permitted limit. The high value of this measure indicates that two many processes are opening handles accessibly. You might want to closely observe the handle usage of these processes over time to figure out whether the spike in usage is sporadic or consistent. A consistent increase in handle usage could indicate a handle leak. |
