A process monitoring methodology is disclosed. In a computer-implemented method, a selection of a process to be monitored is received. The process is to be at least partially performed using a component of a computing environment. An expected operating parameter of the process is determined. The process is also monitored to determine an actual operating parameter of the process. The actual operating parameter of the process is compared with the expected operating parameter of the process to generate a comparison result. An operation is then automatically performed based upon the comparison result.
