Hi everyone-
I have just dumped my exiting monitoring solution after realizing it was crap (MonitorMagic) and am now looking extensively at HostMonitor. I originally wanted HM but was trumped by a peer who won out.
None the less, back to my question. We have a particulary bad email application right now that has a web component that will sometimes spike in CPU usage and bring down the box. The web component has it's own process, www.exe that we would like to monitor.
Secondly, and along the same lines, we also have another business app that will up and quit. Again, the process will just stop but the associated service will still be running.
I was wondering if it is possible to monitor that status of a single process, and perhaps that single process' CPU usage. I know I can monitor overall CPU usage but int he case of the buggy business app, that doesn't do me much good.
Anyways, if Alex or anyone has any ideas, please let me know. The other company is sending me my money back in the next day or so once I get that, I will go ahead with the purchase.
Thanks for all your help Alex. You seem to be the sole admin here. Thnx
Michael
Is it possible to monitor single process' CPU usage
You are welcome 
You may use Performance Counter test method to monitor CPU load caused by some specific process (\\servername\Process(www)\% Processor Time).
www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mframe.htm# ... erfcounter
Please read notes in this section of the manual.
To monitor specific service you may use Service test method. To test services, HostMonitor establishes a connection to the service control manager on the specified computer and requests the service to update immediately its current status information. If the service has not been started or the service does not answer HostMonitor will mark test item as "Bad".

This test method cannot check regular processes, only Win32 services.

Alex
