Which process is taking up the most memory.

Post by pchamourtzidis »

Hello,

We need to monitor which process is taking up the most memory on a windows server with Nagios XI. Is there a reputable script or $arg$ command (through the memory usage service) I can use to capture this?

I’ve been using Nagios for years but I’m new to scripts within Nagios. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Peter

Is there somewhere I can store it safely and without consuming a lot of memory? Useful tools for you when using smart devices.
You need to follow the instructions in this article how to screenshot on windows.

To the OP, try looking at the options for taskman and on nagios exchange for a script.

I'm monitoring the memory via NRPE which works great dumb ways to die However, when the threshold is met, I have no idea which processes are running high on memory.

If you can't find a plugin on the exchange I guess you'll need to write one yourself.

The Windows fnaf security breach server you wish to monitor must first have the NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) client installed. Nagios may run plugins on the remote Windows computer thanks to NRPE. The Nagios Exchange website has installation instructions and the Windows version of NRPE.
