Measures reported by HostProcessTest

The HostProcessTest monitors the processes executing on servers that support the Host Resources MIB, and reports the resource usage of specific processes.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_processes The number of processes currently executing on the server that match the pattern specified as parameter Number This value indicates if too many or too few processes corresponding to an application are executing on the host.
Mem_util The total memory usage of all processes executing on the server that match the pattern specified as parameter. The memory usage is specified as a percentage of the total memory available on the server. Percent A very high value could indicate that processes corresponding to the specified pattern are consuming excessive memory resources.
Mem_size The total memory usage of all processes executing on the server that match the pattern specified as parameter MB A sudden increase in memory utilization for a process(es) may be indicative of memory leaks in the application.
Cpu_util The total CPU utilization of all processes executing on the server that match the configured process pattern Percent A high value could signify a CPU bottleneck. The CPU utilization may be high because a few processes are consuming a lot of CPU, or because there are too many processes contending for a limited resource. Check the currently running processes to see the exact cause of the problem.
