The other day, one of our server strangely experienced a slow down. Strange because we cannot find the problem, CPU usage is relatively low, there is enough free memory and hard disk space, and our network connection was working fine. Practically there is no problem when you look the system from the Task Manager. So to troubleshoot and analyze the problem, we need a more detailed system monitoring tool and there is What's Running. It is a system monitor that is similar to Process Explorer but it not just show information about running processes but also about Windows services, modules, IP connections, drivers and startup items.
Here is a brief description of What's Running features.
Processes - displays running processes and find all the relevant details that you need. Get performance and resource usage data such as memory usage, processor usage and handles.
Services - shows what services are running and stopped
Modules - displays information about all dll's and exe's in use in your system
Drivers - find information about all drivers, for running drivers you can inspect the file version to find out the supplier of the driver
IP-Connections - list of what remote connections each program have and find out what applications are listening for connections
Startup - manage all your startup programs.
System information - shows system information about your computer, such as installed memory, processor, registered user, OS and OS version.
What's Running installer allows you to choose between normal installation and portable version which you can run from USB drive.
