Monitor Total Processes
Monitor the total number of processes running on your system, including user and system processes.
Description
Monitor the total number of processes running on your system. Failure to properly monitor total processes can lead to performance issues or server crashes.
Instructions
The tools available for monitoring processes differ based on your operating system. As a guideline, you may want to obtain a baseline number of processes during normal operation of your system, and send alerts when the number of processes is two or more standard deviations above the baseline.
