Process monitoring using VFoglight 6.1

Hello,
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

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.
