System and method for dynamically controlling remote processes from a performance monitor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling a plurality of processes in a data processing system, comprising the steps of:
- dynamically presenting a representation of each of the processes for selection on a display;
displaying process information for each of the processes in each of the representations;
selecting at least one process from the representations;
in response to a selection of at least one process from user controls, gathering live process data for the at least one selected process from the data processing system;
displaying the gathered process data in a control console; and
in response to a command from the user controls, initiating at least one action on the at least one process.

Abstract
Local and remote processes can be controlled from a data processing system performance monitor. Multiple processes can be controlled concurrently with a single action selected. Processes to be controlled can be ranked when presented to a user, to assist in determining problematic processes that need attention. Process data is captured dynamically at local and remote processes using a daemon to minimize system overhead in monitoring and controlling processes.
