On UNIX systems, different users can run the same applications. Therefore, the process names can be the same for multiple processes that are owned by different users. The product can distinguish the processes owned by different users and reports the corresponding statistics accordingly. Because the process filtering for the processes is based on owners, the owner of the processes is always a subset of the provided owner set.
The product enables you to configure acceptable process owners and filter a monitored process by process owners.
Note
In the Monitored Process String field, type the command or a unique command string for the process that is being monitored.
Note
Select the Use Process Owners for Filtering check box.
Note
Because process filtering for processes is based on owners, the owner of the processes is always a subset of the provided owner set. Therefore, the PROCPPOwnerCheck parameter is deactivated when the Use Process Owners for Filtering check box is selected.
Select the Filter Processes with Parent Process ID 1check box if you want to filter the processes by Parent Process ID 1.
Note
The product starts monitoring processes based on the process owners.
