  • Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring
    Windows NT ...: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - Chapter 9 - Performance Monitorin Page 1 of 13 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring AN OLD ADAGE SAYS, "IF YOU can’t measure it, you can’t manage it." Even if you can measure something, how can you tell if your changes are making a difference if you don’t have baseline information? It’s important to monitor a server’s or work- station’s performance to maximize your investment in these tools. If a user complains that her computer is too slow, you often need more information to fix the problem. For example, if the problem is loading Web pages on a computer using an analog modem, the modem is probably limiting the system’s performance. However, if the computer is an older model, certain operations may wait for the CPU to finish processing. In this case, a complete system upgrade may be the best solution. The usefulness of performance monitoring goes far beyond handling user expectations. A network and systems administrator can use information obtained by analyzing the operations of existing hardware, software, and networking devices to predict the timing of upgrades, justify the cost of replacing and upgrading devices, and assist in troubleshooting. Performance monitoring ultimately reduces TCO and is a vital part of managing any IT environment. Performance monitoring helps answer important questions about your current environment. For example, you may want to know which activity specifically uses the most resources in your environment. If you determine that it is loading Web pages, then upgrading the RAM or the CPU speed of client machines may not help much.

  • High CPU Utilization in Newer Windows Versions
    High CPU Utilization in Newer Windows Versions Article ID: GV16-03-15-t Release Date: 03/15/2016 Applied to Windows 8 and later versions Windows Server 2012 and later versions Symptoms In newer Windows versions, the Performance tab in Task Manager often shows a CPU utilization of 100% when running GeoVision software with GeoVision dongles or capture cards installed. 1 Explanation In newer Windows versions, the CPU utilization takes into account of the CPU speed and is not calculated the same way as the CPU usage seen in Windows 7 and older versions. A 100% CPU utilization in Windows 10 is not the same as a 100% CPU usage in Windows 7. When running GeoVision software with GeoVision dongles or capture cards, the power saving mode of the computer is automatically disabled in order to avoid stability issues. Do not restore the power plan to default settings, which will enable the power saving mode again, even though the CPU utilization will appear lower in the Performance tab of Task Manager due to the lower CPU speed used during power saving mode. Looking Up the CPU Usage There are two ways to see the actual CPU usage in newer Windows versions. Method 1: Using Windows’ Performance Monitor 1. Click Start, type perfmon in the Search box, and then press Enter. 2. Under Monitoring Tools, click Performance Monitor. The CPU usage is displayed. 2 Method 2: Using System Idle Process in Task Manager 1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and click the Details tab. 2. Look for System Idle Process in the list and subtract its CPU usage from 100% to obtain the current CPU usage.

  • Using SMART for Customized Monitoring of Windows Services
    Using SMART for Customized Monitoring of Windows Services Gregory A. Pluta Larry Brumbaugh William Yurcik National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign {gpluta,ljbrumb,byurcik}@ncsa.uiuc.edu ABSTRACT We focus on examining and working with an important category of computer software called Services, which are provided as a part of newer Microsoft Windows operating systems. A typical Windows user transparently utilizes many of these services but is frequently unaware of their existence. Since some services have the potential to create significant problems when they are executing, it is important for a system administrator to identify which services are running on the network, the types of processing done by each service, and any interrelationships among the various services. This information can then be used to improve the overall integrity of both the individual computer where a questionable service is running and in aggregate an entire network of computers. NCSA has developed an application called SMART (Services Monitoring And Reporting Tool) that can be used to identify and display all services currently running in the network. A commercial program called Hyena remotely monitors the services on all computers attached to the network and exports this information to SMART. SMART produces various outputs that the system administrator can analyze and then determine appropriate actions to take. In particular, SMART provides a color coordinated user interface to quickly identify and classify both potentially hazardous services and also unknown services. Keywords: Windows services, Windows processes, host intrusion detection systems (IDS), host monitoring, network security monitoring, security situational awareness 1.

  • Windows Task Manager" (Taskmgr.Exe)
    CSNB224 Tutorial 5 Objective: • To observe the behaviour of processes using Task Manager ______________________________________________________________ Task manager is one of the tools that can be used to manage system processes and applications. Task manager is a program used to provide information about the processes and programs running on a computer, as well as the general status of the computer. It can also be used to terminate processes and programs, as well as change the processes' priority. In Windows operating systems, the task manager is a program named "Windows Task Manager" (taskmgr.exe). Task Manager can be started with: 1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc 2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then select the Task Manager button 3. Enter taskmgr into the Run utility or a command prompt 4. Right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager from the pop-up menu There are three important tabs in Task Manager Window: 1. Application 2. Processes 3. Performance Application It shows the status of the programs that are currently running on the system. Application status tells you if the application is running normally or if the application has gone off into the ozone. A status of Not Responding is an indicator that an application may be frozen and you may want to end its related task. You can use the buttons on the bottom of this tab as follows: • End Task: Stop an application • Switch To: Switch to an application and make it active • New Task: Start a new program and then enter a command to run the application. 1 Processes It shows the processes that are currently running.

  • Running Head: LAB REPORT 1 Lab Report Objective • the 5.3.1.5 Lab Is
    Running head: LAB REPORT 1 Lab Report Objective • The 5.3.1.5 lab is aimed at exploring the peculiarities of the Task Manager and managing the Task Manager processes. • The 5.3.1.7 lab is aimed at the peculiarities of the Task Manager and managing the Task Manager processes. • The In 5.3.2.5 lab is aimed at learning how to create Windows XP Professional user accounts. Procedures The equipment required for the lab 5.3.1.5 is a computer with installed Windows 7. During the lab we learnt how to use the Windows Task Manager in order to switch to the browser, how a new task can be added and what the procedure of ending up is. We got to know the statuses of each service from the Windows task Manager, i.e. stopped or running. Furthermore, we got aware of the preferences that show System, Physical Memory and Kernel Memory. The task manager displays the network link speed. In addition, we know that it is possible to see the statuses of the displayed users. Finally, we learnt how to log off. We used “show process all users” among the clickable processes in Task Manager and saw all of them. We also tried changing the task manager mode into compact and changed the order from descending to ascending and visa versa.
