The record

Purpose: OpenProcMon is an open-source Process Monitor implementation for Windows.
Activity monitoring: It monitors process, file system, registry, and network activity in real time.
Filtering: Users can filter and highlight events by process name, PID, operation, path, result, or category.
Process analysis: The GUI includes a process tree, activity summaries, and call-stack views with per-frame module resolution.
PML compatibility: OpenProcMon reads and writes Sysinternals Process Monitor .PML logs.
SDK: Its Rust SDK can connect to the driver, select monitored activity, set filters, and consume parsed events programmatically.
AI integration: The procmon-cli MCP server exposes capture and analysis operations to AI agents over stdio, and the project also provides a skill.
Supported MCP clients: The MCP guide gives setup instructions for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, and Cursor.
Download: The v0.5.0 release provides a Windows x64 ZIP containing the GUI, CLI/MCP server, console example, skill, and MCP guides.
Permissions: Live capture requires running as Administrator because it loads the kernel driver; analyzing an existing .PML file does not require elevation.
Limitations: OpenProcMon targets 64-bit Windows and does not support 32-bit Windows or 32-bit .PML files.
License: The project is released under the MIT License.
Analysis: Its interface includes a process tree, activity summaries, and call stack views with per-frame module resolution.
PML support: OpenProcMon reads and writes Sysinternals Process Monitor .PML logs, including logs created by the original Process Monitor.
