Process monitoring

Question

Hi,

Is there an application that is capable of monitoring AND logging information (to file) about another process (in particular IIS aspnet_wp.exe) like (in periods of time): - memory usage of process - cpu usage

Or maybe there is another way to monitor IIS process?

Thanks Pawel

Answer 1

One choice would be Process explorer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Answer 2

You can check Process Monitor from Microsoft.

Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more.

You might want to look at the ANTS Performance and Memory Profilers from Red Gate. I'm using their memory profiler to track down some memory issues as I write this.
