Resource Monitor is a system application in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is used to view information about the use of hardware (CPU, memory, disk, and network) and software (file handles and modules) resources in real time. Resource Monitor is available in Windows Vista and onwards only (In Windows Vista, it is known as Reliability and Performance Monitor). Resource Monitor can be launched by executing resmon.exe (perfmon.exe in Windows Vista).
The Vista and later Resource Monitor heavily leverages the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) facilities;[1] the counter setup (event tracing session) used by the Resource Monitor can be used for logging as well.[2]
