Board index » delphi » Looking for System monitoring tool

Hi all,
I'm fishing for a tool recommendation; One of our systems in the field is
behaving oddly - occasionally the networking just kind of "seizes up",
creating timeouts and performance failures for the software. This only seems
to happen once every few weeks or so. I would like to install a kind of system
monitoring tool there, capable of logging unusual behaviour on a per-process
basis, in terms of:e.g.:
- CPU usage (%)
- Memory usage
- Network activity (including named pipe services)
- Disk access
Obviously the thresholds would have to be settable on a per-process basis,
and logging all "events" to disk with a timestamp (subsecond resolution
strongly desired).
Has anybody heard of something like this?
TIA,

However, the tool is not avaialbe in all versions of Windows.

I need to monitor the system over weeks, perhaps months. The TaskManager's
Performance Monitor only displays a graph in a limited time window (or even
just the "instantaneous" state of other parameters). I need to have
interesting values (not the boring ones) logged to a file. The point is to
have hi-res (in time) developments on the system in the minutes and seconds
prior to the failure symptom show up in our applications' log files.

Hello Kristofer,
I think they are refering to the performance monitor ( Start->run then enter
perfmon) rather than the task managers graphs etc. Perfmon can be setup to
monitor practiaclly anything on the system and can be letf running for weeks/months
generating perfomance logs to be analysed at a lated date.
Good luck.
Tim.

Just try Hostmonitor.
We used it in a medium network (250 PC with 20 servers) and it works
like a charms. All you want plus many other.
