The Process workspace is comprised of four views. The views for this workspace are:
The following workspaces can be accessed by right-clicking this workspace:
This chart displays CPU Percent for the processes utilizing the highest CPU time.
This chart displays graphically the Memory Percent attribute for the top ten processes utilizing memory.
The Top CPU Process report provides detailed information about the top CPU processes currently running. You can view this information in the detail report columns.
The Top CPU Process report help you:
Solve process problems quickly by giving you information you need to pinpoint problem processes and their owners.
Improve system performance by providing you with real-time information on which users and what processes are using the system.
When monitoring process information, pay special attention to the following attribute values.
Large values in the CPU Utilization column indicate a CPU-intensive process. These result in a lower process priority. Small values indicate an I/O intensive process. These result in a higher process priority.
A value greater than 100 indicates a process is consuming a large amount of the CPU. If this value is high, check the Execution State column to see if the process is running, and the Time column to see how long the process has been running.
The CPU Utilization value is machine-dependent and also varies according to the version of the UNIX operating system running.
The Top Virtual Memory graph provides information about virtual memory process usage by the top ten processes.
