Process monitoring using VFoglight 6.1
I am trying to get following monitored through VFoglight console. Has anyone come through or have seen a way to acheive this?
Recommended Performance Monitor Baseline Counters
ID
Counter
Description
Significance
1
CPU -- % processor time
The percentage of the processor time that is used to process user or system transactions as opposed to the CPU sitting idly
The higher the processor usage, the more the CPUs are being used to process user or system transactions
2
System -- Processor queue length
The number of threads that are waiting for the CPUs
The higher the queue rate, the more the threads are waiting on the CPUs to process the instructions on the CPU
3
Memory -- Pages/sec
Pages read and written from memory
The higher the memory usage, the more processes are thrashing in memory
4
Paging file -- % usage for _Total
The percentage of all page files that are in use
The higher the page-file usage, the more memory is needed to support the system in excess of the physical memory on the server
5
PhysicalDisk -- Avg. disk queue length
The number of read and write requests that are queued for the physical disk subsystem
The higher the average disk queue length, the more resources are waiting for earlier requests to finish prior to fulfilling their request
6
SQL Server: General statistics -- user connections
The number of users on the system
The lower the number of users indicates that the server is unable to support the system load
7
Network interface bytes Total/sec
The bytes sent and received over a single network card
Determine if excessive network traffic is occurring on a network card or if the system has issues isolated on the SQL Server with no network traffic
8
SQL Server: locks -- Lock waits/sec -- _Total
The lock request waits per second
Determine if excessive locking is limiting resources for users to access the system
9
System -- Threads
The number of threads on the computer
Determine if the number of threads greatly exceeds the typical baseline indicating more processes are occurring on the system
10
System -- Context Switches/sec
The number of processes that are changing threads per second
The higher the context switching, the more the server is stressed
Thanks,
Paresh

have you looked at or read the documentation on the physical OS monitoring cartridges and what they can provide for you? You have to have vFoglightPro to utilize them but they might be what you are looking for.
