Yet Another Process Monitor2.4.2.0

Yet Another Process Monitor (YAPM) is an advanced task manager that facilitates a user-friendly interface and rich options for monitoring and controlling currently running processes.

Setup, requirements, and interface

You can save the downloaded files anywhere on the disk and just click the executable to launch YAPM. Administrative rights are required to access its full features, along with .NET Framework and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) for remote monitoring.The application is wrapped in a clean and intuitive interface, made from a large window with a ribbon bar for tasks, processes, jobs, the monitor, services, network, file operations, and a search tool.

View and manage tasks and processes

It's possible to search for a specific task and terminate it, select associated processes, as well as display columns with the CPU usage, process, caption, thread ID, height, width, opacity, object creation date, pending task count, and other properties.From the processes list, you can view a wide range of process details, like average CPU usage, total CPU time, handle and thread count, working set, priority, parent ID, kernel CPU time, start and run time, elevation, affinity, and so on.YAPM enables you to kill any process using various methods (e.g. close all handles or windows, terminate all threads), end a process tree, stop and resume processes, change the priority, look up additional details online, view the dependencies of a selected process, create dump files, or save reports.

Set restrictions and monitor processes

As far as jobs are concerned, it's possible to examine general information and statistics of a currently running application, as well as to specify different UI restrictions, such as reading or writing the Clipboard. Any process can be added to the monitor list to keep track of its behavior and detect possible issues for troubleshooting.Yet Another Process Monitor also lets you manage services in a similar manner, view network-related information for all processes (e.g. local and remote address), view and modify file properties (timestamps and attributes), as well as search for info in processes, modules, environment variables, services, handles or windows,

Evaluation and conclusion

It had minimal impact on computer performance and remained stable throughout our evaluation. To conclude, Yet Another Process Monitor comes bundled with many practical options for monitoring and controlling processes.
