Windows System Metrics Details
Events generated by the Windows Metrics Source include metrics metadata to designate dimension and metric fields. The host field contains the hostname, and is included as a dimension in all of them. The collectors include:
In the Source’s configuration modal, You can set the level of detail for each type of metrics:
- Basic enables minimal metrics, averaged or aggregated.
- All enables full, detailed metrics, specified for individual CPUs, interfaces, and so on.
- Custom displays sub-menus and buttons from which you can choose a level of detail (Basic, All, Custom, or Disabled) for each type of event.
- Disabled means that no metrics will be generated.
Basic and Custom have different meanings depending on event type and will be described under each section below.
The tables outline the metrics emitted for each mode (Basic or Custom) and where applicable, the dimensions (to indicate where the metrics are coming from).

Process Metrics
With Process Metrics enabled, Cribl Edge captures process-specific metrics from Windows servers and reports them as events. This allows you to monitor specific processes on Cribl.Cloud instances. You can generate events for any process object.
Process-specific metrics are not affected by the Host Metrics detail setting.
For information on how to configure the Windows Metrics Source to generate process-specific metrics, check out the section of the Windows Metrics page.
Process-specific metrics include the following:
| Name | Description | Type | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
process_start_time | Time the process started. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_cpu_time_total | Elapsed time that the process’s threads have spent executing instructions in either privileged mode or user mode. Included in this count is code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions. | counter | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_handles | Total number of handles the process has open. This number is the sum of the handles currently open by each thread in the process. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_io_bytes_total | Total number of bytes issued to I/O operations in either read, write, or other mode. This property counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network, and device I/Os. Read and write modes include data operations; other mode includes those that don’t involve data, like control operations. | counter | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_io_operations_total | Total number of I/O operations issued in either read, write, or other mode. This property counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network, and device I/Os. Read and write mode includes data operations; other mode includes those that do not involve data, such as control operations. | counter | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_page_faults_total | Total number of page faults by threads executing in this process. A page fault occurs when a thread refers to a virtual memory page that is not in its working set in main memory. This can cause the page not to be fetched from disk if it is on the standby list and hence already in main memory, or if it is in use by another process with which the page is shared. | counter | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_page_file_bytes | Current number of bytes this process has used in the paging files. Paging files are used to store pages of memory used by the process that are not contained in other files. Paging files are shared by all processes, and lack of space in paging files can prevent other processes from allocating memory. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_pool_bytes | Last observed number of bytes in the paged or nonpaged pool. The paged pool is an area of system memory (physical memory used by the operating system) for objects that can be written to disk when they are not being used. The nonpaged pool is an area of system memory (physical memory used by the operating system) for objects that cannot be written to disk, but must remain in physical memory as long as they are allocated. Nonpaged pool bytes are calculated differently than paged pool bytes, so they may not equal the total of paged pool bytes. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_priority_base | Current base priority of this process. Threads within a process can raise and lower their own base priority, relative to the process’s base priority. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_private_bytes | Current number of bytes this process has allocated that can’t be shared with other processes. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_threads | Number of threads currently active in this process. Every running process has at least one thread. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_virtual_bytes | Current size, in bytes, of the virtual address space that the process is using. Use of virtual space doesn’t imply use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite and when the process uses too much, it can limit its ability to load libraries. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_working_set_private_byte | Size of the working set, in bytes, that is used for this process only and not shared or shareable by other processes. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_working_set_peak_bytes | Maximum size, in bytes, of the working set of this process at any point in time. The working set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory is above a threshold, pages are left in the working set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from working sets. If pages are needed, they will be soft-faulted back into the working set before they leave main memory. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
process_working_set_bytes | Maximum number of bytes in the working set of this process at any point in time. If free memory is above a threshold, pages are left in the working set of a process even if they aren’t in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from working sets. If pages are needed, they will be soft-faulted back into the working set before they leave main memory. | gauge | process_set, process_ppid, process_pid, process_cmdline, process_exe_path, process_service_name |
