IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Process attributes (32-bit - Superseded)

Use Process attributes to monitor information about a specific process, such as the amount of time the process runs, its thread count, and how it uses real and virtual memory. Process is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group. This attribute group is superseded. There is a new attribute group with the same name that replaces it.

% Privileged Time The percentage of elapsed time that a process has executed instructions in privileged mode. Valid values are positive integers that can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note that the attribute value is averaged in synch with the situation or historical collection interval. (Superseded.)

% Processor Time The percentage of elapsed time that a process has used the processor to execute instructions. Valid values are positive integers that can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note that the attribute value is averaged in synch with the situation or historical collection interval. (Superseded.)

There is an inconsistency between the way that the Process report calculates the percentage of processor time used by a process, and the way that the Windows Performance Monitor calculates this percentage.

The Process report displays the percentage of processor time used for a single process on all processors. The total is based on 100 times P, where P is equal to the number of processors in use.

% User Time The percentage of elapsed time that a process has executed instructions in user mode. Valid values are positive integers that can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note that the attribute value is averaged in synch with the situation or historical collection interval. (Superseded.)

Avg % Processor Time Percentage of processor use, as an average across all processors in the system. Note that the attribute value is averaged in synch with the situation or historical collection interval. (Superseded.)

Elapsed Time (Seconds) The total amount of time, in seconds, a process has been running. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 (expressing seconds) and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum. (Superseded.)

Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 (expressing seconds) and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. (Superseded.) Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

ID Process The unique identifier of a process. Note that this number applies only while the process is running. After the process ends, the same number might be used to represent a different process.
