made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Num_procs_running |
Number of instances of a pmon, smon, lgwr, dbw, and reco processes currently executing. |
Number |
This value indicates if too many or too few processes corresponding to an
application are executing on the host. The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the PIDs and Windows service names of the processes. |
| Cpu_util |
Total percentage CPU utilization of each process instance detected above. |
Percent |
A very high value could indicate that processes corresponding to the specified pattern
are consuming excessive CPU resources. |
| Memory_util |
The ratio of the resident set size of a process to the physical memory of the host
system on which it executes, expressed as a percentage. |
Percent |
A sudden increase in memory utilization for a process may be indicative of memory leaks in the application. |
