Process Monitor X : Windows monitoring tool that enables you to keep track of file system, registry, process activity and more, using helpful filters to ensure only relevant information is displayed
Process Monitor X is a software utility similar to Process Monitor, designed to capture and display detailed information about file system, process, thread, network and registry activity, giving you a clear idea of what is happening on your system.While it shows promise, it is important to note that this is an early preview of the application. Not all of its basic functions have yet been implemented, but you can try it out to get an idea of what is planned.
Real-time event monitoring and logging
In the Capture Settings tab, you can view a list of all event types the application is capable of monitoring. These include process, thread, registry, module, network and file system activity. Only the selected ones will be watched, and you can sort them based on category.After selecting the event types you are interested in, you can start monitoring and switch to the All Events tab. Here, a complete activity log will be displayed and updated in real-time. You can even sort entries based on column headers and filter them.
Only offers a basic set of features at present
You will probably notice that, while a few other functions seem to be available in the menus, most of them don’t seem to be working yet. These will probably be implemented in the future, as this is just a preview release.Among the planned features, we can mention the option to quickly select a certain event category from the View menu, the ability to monitor specific processes and various UI customization options.
Useful event monitoring utility that shows promise
On the whole, Process Monitor X is a great tool for users who need detailed information about event activity, but it is obviously in the early stages of development, as it lacks a number of features. Nevertheless, it still gets the job done, but it is worth keeping an eye out for future releases.
