Measures reported by VmgOsHandleTest

This test monitors and tracks the handles opened by processes running in a target Windows virtual machine.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement 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 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.
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.
