Customizing reporting in Veeam Task Manager for Hyper-V
The task manager is well-known among Windows administrators. It is one of these tools that we regularly utilize for various troubleshooting purposes. Every Microsoft Windows operating system includes a task management tool. With Windows 3. x, the first taskman.exe was released, which displayed a list of currently active apps. In Windows NT 4.0, the Hyper-V monitoring task manager was introduced, with its view of processes, programs, and resource utilization. The Windows task manager had changed over time and in various versions of Windows before being fully redesigned in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.
The Windows task manager may not perform as expected when working in a Hyper-V virtualized environment. We all want a clean, well-organized picture of the Hyper-V host and its VMs, replete with resource usage. Unfortunately, you do not get the data you seek when you launch the Windows task manager on the Hyper-V host (parent partition). For example, one of your virtual machines may consume all your computer resources, but you won’t see it in the Windows task manager. Only the data from the Hyper-V host is visible, not the data from the child VMs.
