Machine Name: This is the computer which the process is running on. This can be any computer on your LAN that you have administrative access to, using the password specified above.
Process Name: This is the name of the process you'd like to monitor. You can interactively select a process by clicking the button to the right of the field.
Command Line contains: This option allows you to only select processes with the name above that contain the text you put into this field. This is very useful if you want to monitor a script, for example, that actually runs as cmd.exe-- but the script is passed in as a parameter. This value is optional.
Fail If:
- Process is not running - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process it not running on the computer when checked.
- Process is running - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process is running on the computer when checked.
- More than # processes - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process has more than the specified # of instances running.
- Not exactly # processes - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process does not have exactly the specified # of instances running.
- Less than # processes - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process has fewer than the specified # of instances running.
- Memory usage exceeds # - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process is consuming more than the specified amount of memory. In the case of multiple matching processes, this matches the highest number.
- CPU usage exceeds % - When selected, this resource will fail if this specific process is consuming more than the specified amount of CPU%. In the case of multiple matching processes, this matches the highest number. Note that multi-core CPU's only allow single-threaded processes to consume up to 1/cores of the CPU(i.e. 50% for dual core), so keep this in mind when setting your thresholds.
