Process Memory Size - Different Counters

Question

I\'m trying to find out how much memory my own .Net server process is using (for monitoring and logging purposes).

I\'m using:

Process.GetCurrentProc         


        

Answer 1

Is this a fair description? I'd like to share this with my team so please let me know if it is incorrect (or incomplete):

There are several ways in C# to ask how much memory my process is using.

• Allocated memory can be managed (by the CLR) or unmanaged.
• Allocated memory can be virtual (stored on disk) or loaded (into RAM pages)
• Allocated memory can be private (used only by the process) or shared (e.g. belonging to a DLL that other processes are referencing).

Given the above, here are some ways to measure memory usage in C#:

1) Process.VirtualMemorySize64(): returns all the memory used by a process - managed or unmanaged, virtual or loaded, private or shared.

2) Process.PrivateMemorySize64(): returns all the private memory used by a process - managed or unmanaged, virtual or loaded.

3) Process.WorkingSet64(): returns all the private, loaded memory used by a process - managed or unmanaged

4) GC.GetTotalMemory(): returns the amount of managed memory being watched by the garbage collector.
