Title: Whole System Monitoring in Windows

Venue: CS 105

Time: 3 pm - 4 pm, Friday, 09/21/2007

Abstract:

Operating Systems like Windows are extremely complex and often there are many interactions between the software and services running in the system which changes its persistent state. Managing, diagnosing and also securing one or more Windows systems can be difficult unless one is able to understand and deal with the complex persistent state system interactions. In this talk, we describe WinResMon, a monitoring infrastructure for Windows which does whole-level system monitoring. By looking at all the system interactions, we are able to explain questions about resource usage, dependencies and interactions over time. Ideally, one should capture all interesting system interactions continuously but such continuous monitoring raises its own challenges. We will discuss some of these during the talk.
