Memory used by a process

Post by Svend »

Can I track memory used by an individual process (Windows Platform).

After monitoring a server it just slowly chews into its commited bytes. I'm trying nail down the offending process and would like to track Memory usage and VM Size as seen in Task Manager.

I looked in performance monitor but couldn't see a way of listing process instances.

You may use counters like \\servername\Process(ProcessName)\Virtual Bytes and \\servername\Process(ProcessName)\Working Set

We recommend to use WMI test instead of Performance Counters. Windows WMI techonology works much more reliable than Performance Counters.
You may use query like select VirtualSize from Win32_Process where caption='FAR.EXE'
