Process List Widget

The Process List Widget displays resource usage by Processes for a selected computer with all the available metrics in a specific time period. It provides information about all the currently running processes including their process identification numbers (PID).

If you can edit the dashboard, you can have one Process List Widget per computer on your dashboard for a parallel comparison. You can use this widget to find out which processes are using resources more than the others.

You can export the list to Excel with the Export to Excel button in the widget. To share the whole dashboard, or save it as a PDF, use the menu button in the dashboard toolbar .

Set Up the Widget

Note

To set up a widget, you must be able to edit the dashboard. You can edit the dashboards that you created, and PerformanceGuard administrators can edit all dashboards except built-in ones. The widget catalog only shows the widgets that your user role gives you access to.

When you’re ready to add the widget to a dashboard, you simply select the required information in the widget setup menus.

• In Select what you want to be listed on the overview tab, select the columns that you want the widget to show, for example Process name, CPU avg. (%), Memory avg. (MB) and Handle avg. The columns are the same metrics as in the Computer Process Table.

Important

Example: Click thumbnail to view image in full size. Based on your parameter’s selection, the widget displays only them. So you can choose yourself which columns you want to be appeared in the Widget.

• Select Show row number to show row numbers in the widget.
• Click Save dashboard.

Select what You Want to View

Your PerformanceGuard administrator has typically set up the widget to display the parameters.

When that’s the case, you can simply use the Computer menu in the top part of the dashboard to view the information for selected Time Period.

Tip

You can filter your results by selecting the desired processes using the Process Names menu. This will eliminate the entries that don’t match the criteria.

You can sort the list of processes ascending or descending by clicking a column heading.

Caution

Note that the amount of processes you see in the list may change based on your interval selection (because more processes may have been active during the last 30 days than during the last 30 minutes).
