Monitor number of threads used by a service installed on Windows Server

[jfaigan]

I have parts of a Windows .Net application that are installed as services and run as services under an account on Windows Server.

I would like to monitor the number of threads that these services are consuming.

Is there a way to do that with Splunk?  I have begun looking at the documentation for APM but I am not convinced this is possible under Windows + .Net.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Ok, so I think I have found what I am looking for, however, it is clearly addressed by SignalFx Smart Agent Receiver but this is deprecated.

It is not clear if the Hosts Metric Receiver will provide the same level of info.

The SmartFx documentation clearly states the process threads is an exposed metric.  The Hosts Metric Receiver does not go into sufficient detail.

Fingers crossed!

Look into Microsoft's Sysmon utility (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon) and the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Sysmon (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1914/).

So I do not think SysMon will provide me the info I need, I do appreciate the idea as it led me to Process Monitor.  I will see if there is any kind of integration with Process Mon.

Ok, great!  Thanks for the quick reply.  I will take a look at that.
