Hi, We want to monitor OneAgent process to below certain limit of CPU and memory, based on this thread: [https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Open-Q-A/Hardware-resource-consumption-of-OneAgent/m-p/71104](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/71104) so we want to set the limit below 10% of CPU and memory consumption on the server for OA process. Then we need to set up alerts if the consumption of OneAgent is above the limit. Is it possible? I think it’s also applicable for other kind of processes. Thanks ---

You can do that through a Metric Event, as shown below. But I wouldn’t waste my time monitoring OneAgent, as I have never ever seen OneAgent not even near 10%. You are right, you might want to do it for other processes. ![AntonioSousa_1-1679085859477.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/a/d/ad6c3352b48232015906ee6d4ce086acd6ac24e0.png)
