Performance monitor alerts on Windows Server 2003

swinehart6803 — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:55:25 +0000

We have a 2003 server here that we are trying to catch a runaway process on.
I know how to go into perfmon and set a page file monitor, but I can’t seem to understand the counter.
I want to set it at a specific GB file size or % or total.
Is the size “over” as a percent amount actually the percent? It allows me to enter in any number, even one over 100. I would think this would be limited to 100% since it is counting it as a percent.

Windows Server 2000 – Restart service when consecutive performance monitor thresholds are exceeded

Sireddie — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 03:07:47 +0000

I need to be able to automatically restart a service on a Win2000 server when 3 consecutive performance monitor thresholds are exceeded.

I can run a batch file/command that restarts the service when the threshold is exceeded by setting up a Performance Alert, but 3 consecutive thresholds are required to prevent false positives (spikes) restarting the service.

I have looked for third-party software to do this withouth luck.

I believe this might be possible through scripting somehow but I wouldn’t know where to start.

Anyone have any idea if this would be possible?

Thanks

Windows Server 2008 task manager

ITKE — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:01:46 +0000

Hello. Watching task manager in a Win 2008 server system, i noticed that it reports about Physical Memory:

Total 3070MB
Cached 2051MB
Free 12MB

But resource monitor reports 41% Used Physical Memory.

So how much memory is free? 12MB from task manager or 59% from resource manager?
