Introduction
Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such as session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more. These capabilities of Process Monitor makes it a powerful tool for identifying the source of problems in Microsoft Dynamics SL.
The status column in Process Monitor tells you the outcome of the actions. Process Monitor starts monitoring when you start Process Monitor. The output window in Process Monitor can be saved to a file and sent to technical support for review.
Process Monitor works on Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 and on Windows 10
