# How to view Current Running Processes in WHM

The **System Health** section in **WHM** provides an interface to show the **current running processes** on the server. You can identify the name and location of the processes as well as the directory where the process started.

## How to Launch Show Current Processes in WHM

1. [Login to WHM](/support/edu/whm/log-into-whm/) as the root user.
2. [![Click on System Health icon](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/current-running-procs_system-health-icon-1024x475.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/current-running-procs_system-health-icon.png) In the WHM home page click on the **System Health** icon.
