Running processes page

Observe running process metrics to gain insights into how running processes are performing and identify performance bottlenecks or issues that might be impacting the digital experience.

Table 1. Usage metrics

Card	Description
CPU usage	Percentage of current CPU utilization indicates the proportion of the CPU's total processing capacity that is currently in use
Idle CPU	Percentage of the CPU's capacity that is not being actively used or is in an idle state
Memory usage	Amount of computer memory (RAM) currently being used by running processes and applications

Table 2. Processes

Field	Description
Name	Name for the process
CPU usage %	Amount of processing power consumed in percentage for a specific program or process Note: High CPU usage can result in degraded application performance, slower response times, and decreased user satisfaction. Identify performance bottlenecks and take proactive steps to optimize application performance.
CPU time in seconds	Exact amount of time that the CPU spends for processing data for a specific program or process Note: By tracking CPU usage over time, your organization can identify potential performance issues and take steps to optimize system resources and improve the overall digital end-user experience.
Memory in KB	Amount of memory (RAM) consumed in kilobytes (KB) for a specific program or process Note: High memory usage can result in degraded application performance, slower response times, and potentially lead to crashes or system instability. Monitor memory usage to optimize resource allocation and capacity planning, verifying that applications have sufficient resources to meet user demands.
PID	Process ID (PID) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each running process Note: The PID can be used to monitor and manage the running processes. The PID can also be used to terminate or kill a specific process if necessary.
PPID	Parent Process ID (PPID) is the unique numerical identifier assigned to the parent process of a running process Note: The PPID is useful for process management because it enables administrators to identify the processes that spawned child processes and track the flow of processes in the system. The PPID is also used to manage the resources allocated to a process and confirm that child processes have access to the necessary resources.
Service name	Name of the service associated with the process
Service type	Type of the service, for example system or user
