Process monitoring

Question

Is there an application that is capable of monitoring AND logging information (to file) about another process (in particular IIS aspnet_wp.exe) like (in periods of time): - memory usage of process - cpu usage

Or maybe there is another way to monitor IIS process?

Thanks Pawel

Answer 1

You can check Process Monitor from Microsoft.

Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file , and much more.

一种选择是“进程资源管理器” http://technet.microsoft.com/zh-cn/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Answer 3

You might want to look at the ANTS Performance and Memory Profilers from Red Gate . I'm using their memory profiler to track down some memory issues as I write this.

Answer 4

Pretty much any monitoring system or framework that allows custom checks is capable of this. You write your check and just put an extra line in it to post/print/put something to a file of your choice.

I for example use sensu for which I wright custom checks in ruby.

So I can easily do something like

if %x[{ping]}
  ok
  %x[{ print ‘all is well’ > syslog]}
end

and similar to that you can do for most other monitoring systems like Nagios etc.
