Are you running perfmon localy or also via the internet? The "old" v4.1 used the same system as perfmon..

I am quite concerned about the problem we are experiencing as the figures returned by Servers Alive do appear to coincide with the performance of the Server deteriorating due to a memory leak somewhere, but the Perfmon figures produced running Windows Perfmon interactively did not report any significant change in the Pool Nonpaged bytes (which is the performance counter I am monitoring) and did not go above my threshold this morning even though the system ground to a virtual stand still. Request to the rest of the forum members: Does anyone have or can suggest better memory monitoring utilities (rather than Microsoft Perfmon) that may help me trace this memory leak issue I seem to be experiencing.

Perfmon and the perfmon checks are doing it differently that's all Dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carroll, Andy Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 11:43 AM To: salive@woodstone.nu Subject: [SA-list] Servers Alive - NT Perfmon, Memory, Pool Nonpaged Bytes Dirk, Servers Alive version 4.1.1630 I am currently monitoring 'NT Perfmon, Memory, Pool Nonpaged Bytes' closely on some of our servers as there is a critical point at which we need to consider rebooting a server before it becomes service affecting. At the moment the check is returning 57573376 (Bytes according to the check detail), which is above the threshold I have the alert set at (55000000 bytes which I am approximating as 55MB), but running the same check using Perfmon shows only 4242800 (bytes? Perfmon is using the default scale) and this is appearing as approx 42.5 on the vertical axis (which I am reading as approximately 42.5MB) The question I have is why are these figures significantly different? I have checked this also with SA V5.0.1649 and the returned figures are almost identical to those I am getting returned by SA V4.1.1630 on my production system. I need to be confident that the figures I am getting returned via Servers Alive accurately represent the state of the machine being monitored. Servers Alive is currently running on a Windows 2000 Professional Workstation and the Server being monitored is running NT4.0, I have run Perfmon on NT4 / W2K and XP with the same figures being return on each different OS.
