This list covers the events that it does capture: It will additionally track a few other events in a limited fashion. Registry – this could be creating keys, reading them, deleting them, or querying them.You’ll be surprised just how often this happens. File System – this could be file creation, writing, deleting, etc, and it can be for both local hard drives and network drives.Network – this will show the source and destination of TCP/UDP traffic, but sadly it doesn’t show the data, making it a bit less useful.Process – These are events for processes and threads where a process is started, a thread starts or exits, etc.This can be useful information in certain instances, but is often something you’d want to look at in Process Explorer instead. Profiling – These events are captured by Process Monitor to check the amount of processor time used by each process, and the memory use. ![]() ![]() Again, you would probably want to use Process Explorer for tracking these things most of the time, but it’s useful here if you need it. So Process Monitor can capture any type of I/O operation, whether that happens through the registry, file system, or even the network - although the actual data being written isn’t captured. We’re just looking at the fact that a process is writing to one of these streams, so we can later figure out more about what is happening. When you first load up the Process Monitor interface, you’ll be presented with an enormous number of rows of data, with more data flying in quickly, and it can be overwhelming. The key is to have some idea, at least, about what you are looking at, as well as what you are looking for. This isn’t the type of tool that you spend a relaxing day browsing through, because within a very short time period, you’ll be looking at millions of rows. ![]() The first thing you’ll want to do is filter those millions of rows down to the much smaller subset of data you want to see, and we’re going to teach you how to create filters and zero in on exactly what you want to find.
