The Processes & Users bar chart (ANALYZE > Graphs > Combined Bar Charts > Processes & Users) gives an overview of which processes and users consume the most resources in terms of CPU, memory, etc.

This bar chart is useful because ... you can quickly find out who uses the most CPU power, RAM, etc.

IP data process information is not collected on computers that run Windows XP.

When you specify parameters for the chart, you can select between several types of data:

Total Consumed CPU Time by Process: CPU usage in minutes for worst processes.
Average Memory by Process: The amount of memory consumed by different processes.
Most Active Processes by Instances: The number of times that a process has been started.
Total Consumed CPU Time by User: CPU usage in minutes for the most active users.
Average Consumed Memory by User: The average amount of memory consumed by processes per user.

The values are calculated from the worst reported processes only, and don't include low-consuming instances of these processes.

In order to monitor additional processes, select ADMINISTRATION > Agent Configuration > Configurations, select the agent configuration group that you wish to change and modify the parameters in the Process Report section. For example, setting Report % CPU usage higher than and CPU usage top ? list to 0 (zero) will make the agent collect information about all processes.

Consult your PerformanceGuard consultant before you enable full process information for all computers.
