Configuring process monitoring

This topic describes how to configure PATROL to monitor processes. By default, PATROL does not monitor any processes. With new implementation of process monitoring the name of a process instance does not depend on a process ID.

The name of the new process instance depends on the label specified by the user. All the matching processes on a managed node are now monitored as a single instance and the instance parameters display consolidated values for all the matching processes.

When configuring monitoring for a specific process, you can use the methods shown in the following table.

When configuring the monitoring of processes, you can use regular expressions to specify the process name only. For more information, see Regular-expressions-and-syntax.
