Using Task Manager to Monitor Applications and Processes

Task Manager monitors applications and processes.

Task Manager has the following tabs:

• Applications tab displays what applications run. This is useful for identifying and ending unresponsive tasks. (Oracle Database does not appear as an application because it runs as a service.)

• Processes tab displays details of the currently running processes and their resource usage. Columns are customizable.

• Performance tab graphically displays real-time CPU and memory usage, which is useful for spotting sudden changes.

• Networking tab graphically displays the network traffic taking place over the computer's network connections.
