Process monitoring design for the migrated instances

For all the instances of a process that were created with a process ID prior to version 4.2.20 of PATROL KM for Microsoft Windows, a single instance is created without the process ID in the process instance path. The process instance path depends on the method, by using which the process was configured in a prior version.

The following examples show the dependency of process instance path on the method of process configuration.

Example 1

If a process called Notepad was added without any arguments, the new process instance path will be created as NOTEPAD_NO_ARGUMENT. All the Notepad instances that were running without arguments will be monitored as a single instance and the instance parameters will display the consolidated values of all the instances.

Example 2

If a process called Notepad was added with any arguments, the new process instance path will be created as NOTEPAD_ANY_ARGUMENT_LIST. All the running Notepad instances on a managed node will be monitored as a single instance and the instance parameters will display consolidated values for all the instances.

Example 3

If a process Notepad was added with specific arguments, the new process instance path will be created as NOTEPAD_ ARGUMENT S. All the instances that were running with the same arguments on a managed node will be monitored as a single instance and the instance parameters will display consolidated values for all the instances.
