Extract text from Resource Monitor configuration files (RESMONCFG)
To convert RESMONCFG configuration files to another format, you need Windows Resource Monitor or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "System Configuration File" file type, you need software like Windows Resource Monitor or a similar tool.
The .resmoncfg file is an XML-based configuration document used natively by Microsoft Windows Resource Monitor (resmon.exe). It stores customized graphical views, layout preferences, and hardware counters (CPU, Memory, Disk, Network) that an administrator has chosen to track. By saving these metrics to a file, IT professionals can instantly reload a specific monitoring dashboard without manually reconfiguring the tool.
However, the .resmoncfg format is highly restrictive. It is a deeply proprietary extension tied exclusively to the Windows operating system ecosystem. You cannot import these settings into advanced, cross-platform monitoring tools like Grafana, Datadog, or even Sysinternals Process Explorer. While the underlying data is standard text, the schema is largely undocumented. Without the native application, the raw XML looks like a chaotic wall of nested settings and coordinate values.
Users often need to convert .resmoncfg files to standard TXT, XML, or JSON formats. This makes it easier to document server monitoring standards, share configurations with IT teams via text channels, or parse layout preferences programmatically using automated scripts.
Because this is a niche application setting, standard online converters routinely fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can securely inspect the internal XML content of your .resmoncfg file. If our analysis detects the supported embedded text format, viewing the raw configuration or converting it to accessible text formats remains entirely possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RESMONCFG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ACW, HNS and OTOSET files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RESMONCFG converter.
