Overview
This article explains how to use the built-in Windows Performance Monitor tool to review resource utilization on a Riva On-Premise Windows Server.
During server health checks, Performance Monitor can help identify whether CPU, memory, or disk resources are under pressure. This is useful when investigating slow performance, high resource usage, or general server health concerns.
Procedure
Performance Monitor is a built-in Windows tool that can be used to analyze server performance in these cases.
- Open Start, search for Performance Monitor, and open it.
- Under Monitoring Tools, click Performance Monitor.
-
Click the green plus (+) button above the Performance Monitor graph.
- In the Add Counters window, select Local computer or the name of the server from the drop-down menu.
- Select and expand the following counter categories to monitor::
- Processor Information > % Processor Time
- Memory > % Committed Bytes In Use
- LogicalDisk > Current Disk Queue Length
-
LogicalDisk > % Idle Time
For LogicalDisk, make sure to select the correct drive where Riva is installed
- Once the counters are added, confirm that each counter has a different color in the graph.
- Let Performance Monitor run for some time, then collect screenshots showing the resource consumption.
