Shared Memory Monitoring

[Fotis]

Hello all,

I would like to monitor shared memory on a windows server.
I saw that there is vm.memory.size[shared] but unfortunately it's not
supported for windows.
Is there any value that I can use in a performance counter maybe?
Can someone share his idea on how to do it?

Cheers,
Fotis

Hello all,

The concept of memory 'share' is the unix.
Not that windows does not have a share memory, just called different (manages memory differently).
To do what you need you would have to read about perf_counter

Sorry Flako, but your answer wasn't very useful.
If you read again my initial post, I already mention Performance Counters and actually I'm asking if there is any value that I can use..

Sorry Flako, but your answer wasn't very useful.

mm, if it is useful to respond with a chewed response (resolved), as it is not useful ...
If you look at the performance of windows or zabbix documentation of this reply. (sorry I will not do for you)
If you want intelligent and useful responses, begins with http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I'm sorry but I can't understand your English.
You don't have to be upset for not finding your answer useful.
I didn't ask for a solution, I asked some ideas on how to do this.
Cheers

The short answer for your question, Fotis, is "NO"
You cannot monitor "shared" memory on a windows server. (easily)
There are no performance counter to control it or system tools to monitor it.

But! The Best Guy in the Windows Monitoring world - Mark Russinovich - wrote the utility to monitor physical and virtual memory
VMMap

You can use it to control the virtual memory for the process and - if it have cli interface - you can use it to collect information in Zabbix Agent UserParameter.

And, as I already said, it's not easy.
Sorry

Thank you Aleksey,
I had a feeling that it won't be easy to do.
I'll have a look on your suggestion and I hope that it will help me.

Cheers,
