You have a server named Server1 that runs the Remote Desktop Session Host role service. Server1 has five custom applications installed. Users who sign in to Server1 report that the server is slow. Tas

The correct answer is C. Process. To identify which of the five custom applications is consuming excessive CPU on Server1, you should add the 'Process' object to a Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.

Question

You have a server named Server1 that runs the Remote Desktop Session Host role service. Server1 has five custom applications installed. Users who sign in to Server1 report that the server is slow. Task Manager shows that the average CPU usage on Server1 is above 90 percent. You suspect that a custom application on Server1 is consuming excessive processor capacity. You plan to create a Data Collector Set in Performance Monitor to gather performance statistics from Server1. You need to view the resources used by each of the five applications. Which object should you add to the Data Collector Set?

Options

  • AProcessor information
  • BProcessor
  • CProcess
  • DProcessor performance

Why each option

To identify which of the five custom applications is consuming excessive CPU on Server1, you should add the 'Process' object to a Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.

AProcessor information

'Processor Information' provides detailed data about individual processor cores but does not break down resource usage by individual applications or processes.

BProcessor

The 'Processor' object provides overall CPU usage for the entire system, not for individual processes or applications.

CProcessCorrect

The 'Process' performance object in Performance Monitor provides counters that track resource utilization for individual processes, including CPU usage, memory, and I/O. By adding this object and specifying instances for each of the five custom applications (or all processes), you can precisely identify which application is responsible for the high CPU consumption on Server1. This allows for granular monitoring of application-level resource usage.

DProcessor performance

'Processor performance' is not a standard performance object in Windows Performance Monitor; the primary object for overall CPU is 'Processor.'
