Process Meter

Process Meter displays graphical representations of various indicators related to running processes, either on the local computer or on a remote machine. The data is shown as a three-dimensional bar chart that can be easily read by anyone.

There are various parameters you can monitor using Process Meter. The application can reveal the CPU and the memory usage, as well as details regarding handles and running threads for each process, the address space of each process and the virtual memory it requires.

You can switch between parameters either from the right-click menu or from the View menu. Indicators are shown one by one and not at once, as the chart within the main window is updated according to your selection.

Optionally, you can configure Process Meter to show a name label for each process, but this might overcrowd the chart when there is a large number of processes running on the host PC.

Although its main purpose is to provide information about the system's processes and the resource consumption, Process Meter is not just an information extraction tool. In fact, the application enables you to manage resource usage by setting limits for each of the monitored parameters, whether we are talking about processor and memory usage, or the number of threads a process can open.

Process Meter is not a spectacular or innovative application, but it does its job well, displaying relevant data regarding resource usage. The chart itself can be printed on paper or saved as an image for later reference. Overall, it can become a handy utility in the toolbox of any network administrator who needs to keep a close eye on resource usage, both on the local PC and on remote workstations.
