Usually when someone mention about monitoring a process or application, Process Explorer immediately comes to my mind. Without a doubt that Sysinternals Process Explorer is one the most powerful and best system monitoring and examination utility which is able to track down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work. No wonder Microsoft bought over Sysinternals.

Few days ago I discovered a new application or process monitoring software which was released to public a month ago on June 29, 2008. There are tons of task manager software and what makes this one special is instead of monitoring every running process in Windows, you have to add a process to monitor. This is really useful when you only need to monitor a particular software for the CPU and memory usage. A process memory usage usually goes up and down which makes it hard for us to determine the average numbers but with this application monitor, it can calculate the average memory usage.

Kiwi Application Monitor is a small program which lets you monitor your applications/processes. It collects data about their running time, memory usage and cpu time usage. It also monitors your computer’s memory load (RAM). It also has an process viewer included.

All you need to do is select an application or process from the build-in process viewer or enter an application’s exe name. The program can be set to start with Windows and run in background. It takes up about 30MB in memory usage, which is nearly the same memory usage as some antivirus program.

Kiwi Application Monitor works in all version of Windows and in order for the program to start on a 64-bit Vista, you should download and overwrite ‘System.Data.SQLite.DLL’ with an 64-bit version.

After 3 weeks since the release of its first version, the developer for Kiwi Application Monitor updated the program with more enhancement and features.
Kiwi Application Monitor v1.0.1 released on July 16, 2008.
- enhanced the additional information about a running process
- added the Info button to the agent of running processes
- added the running time column to the agent of running processes
- included Windows run time to the statistics

It can also tell you the number of processors (CPU) the monitored application can run on and list of modules used by the monitored process. Kiwi Application Monitor is free but if you want to use the statistics feature, you’ll need to purchase the PRO version at the price of $9.90. The statistics feature is able to show you Process run time, Process memory consumption, Computer average memory load and Windows run time in a very easy to understand graph. One of Team TSRh cracker, Rigel has already cracked this program (kiwi.application.monitor.1.0.1.crack-tsrh.zip).
