What is a Server Process Count?
A process count check is a method used to determine the number of instances of a specific process running on a server. A server process allows the execution of an application or specific computer program as requested by the client.
Regularly performing a process count check can provide valuable insights into server performance and resource utilization. It can help identify potential issues such as resource leaks or unexpected behavior, ensuring the smooth operation of server-related tasks.
How to monitor Server Process Count?
ServicePilot makes it easy to monitor Server Process Count requiring minimal configuration on the target device. A resource of the server-process-count package then needs to be added via the ServicePilot web interface.
Once deployed, you can apply threshold policies to gain better granular control over your monitoring and alerting configuration.
