Process & How much Memory each uses

[Guest]

I need to look at the processes running on a few computers on our Network & determine how much Physcial Memory each is using.

I thought I found this by double clicking on the 'Processes' selection once I expaned a computer name with in Hyena. This shows all the processes currently running on that system. Has the headers of 'VMem Peak' / 'VMem' (which I'm assuming is for Virutal Memory usage) - I thought that the 'Mem Peak' / 'Mem' was for the actual Physical Memory in the system, BUT I have a system that only has 128 MB of RAM in it but it shows it peaks @ 273 MB?

Am I reading this incorrectly? And if so, which will show me what I need to know?

Thanks,
Matt

Re: Process & How much Memory each uses

Unfortunately, we really don't know. We request the process counters below from the process function, and Windows does the rest. I don't know of any documentation on what these mean, but they should roughly be the same as what is reported by Task Manager

Sorry that I can't be of more help.

Re: Process & How much Memory each uses

I think if I could just get a list of what the headers mean - that would help out alot.

Re: Process & How much Memory each uses

The headers that you see (except for the first two which are self-explanatory) are in the same order as the process counters from the list in the previous posting. It also might be possible to get a description from PerfMon or the Performance Monitoring MMC snapin which uses the same performance counters. I also found a nice looking table of the performance counters in the Task Manager help file, but when I try to view it I get "Topic not found". Perhaps your system as a better help file.
