Process statistics helps monitor various metric values of a process. Multiple processes can be monitored in a single monitor. For example, CPU utilization can be monitored for a specific process.
Thresholds can be configured based on the following parameters: instances, CPU, and memory. The agent monitors how processes do against thresholds. An alert is raised when the metric value of a process exceeds the threshold. Separate alerts are raised, for instance, CPU, and memory.
The Chrome browser is the recommended browser.
To track the performance of various processes (Using parameters such as CPU and memory), add a process statistics monitor using Setup > Monitoring > Templates > Other Monitors.
