Posted February 14, 20169 yr Hi, is it normal that PCMonitorSrv is hanging on so much DISK READ I/O? It consumes 90% of all disk I/O reads on Windows Server, where all Windows services, Exchange and Oracle DB do not consume alltogether the rest 10% disk I/O:
February 15, 20169 yr Staff Hi, Do you have any directory notifications enabled? What plugins did you install on that system? Chris
February 15, 20169 yr Author Hi, not that I am aware of. Same for plugins. BTW...when I look at momentary I/O impact, PCMonitorSrv.exe is NOT consuming a lot of I/O at the moment. But as counter is so big, I guess it is using intensive I/O at some other times, maybe at night.
February 15, 20169 yr Staff Hi, Can you please send an email to support [at] pulseway [dot] com? I'll escalate your request L2 technical support and they'll be able to assist you further. Chris
July 3, 20168 yr Author Hi Chris, did you ever resolve this issue? I have dozen of servers with same symptoms - Pulseway service is top disk I/O Reader: Â Typically I have NO plugins installed, and under settings on all servers selected those features: SYSTEM --> NETWORK --> Display Ping Response from some IP SYSTEM --> SERVICES --> Selected to manage all Auto-start services SYSTEM --> FILE BROWSER Enabled SYSTEM --> REMOTE DESKTOP Enabled MODULES --> MANAGE --> Active Directory MODULES --> MANAGE --> Exchange MODULES --> MANAGE --> IIS MODULES --> MANAGE --> SQL Server MODULES --> MANAGE --> Windows Server Backup NOTIFICATIONS --> Services NOTIFICATIONS --> Storage NOTIFICATIONS --> Hardware --> CPU temperature NOTIFICATIONS --> SERVER MODULES --> AD (Locked User) NOTIFICATIONS --> SERVER MODULES --> Exchange (Messages Que longer than 20) That's more or less all I have. It is hard for me to test, because I would need to disable all features and enable them one by one, reboot server and left it over for a week or so to see results.
July 4, 20168 yr Administrators Hi Labsy, Thank you for your detailed report. Can you please turn off the storage notifications to see if this decreases the I/O read growth? -Paul
October 6, 20204 yr Does anyone know the outcome of this topic? Looks like this is still and issue with the PCMonitorSrv.exe service. -Scott
