Field Name	Description
Source	The source name to display in the legend for the CPU & Memory data.
Process Name Regex	The regular expression used to match the name of the process.
Process Path Regex	The regular expression used to match the path of the process.
Process CWD Regex	The regular expression to match the CWD (Current Working Directory) of the process.
Process Args Regex	The regular expression to match the arguments of the process.
Polling Interval	A numeric value representing the polling interval time in miliseconds.
Reconcile option*	The method used to determine the method used to reconcile processes when multiple processes match the specified regex parameters.

*Select one of the following values for the Reconcile option.

Reconcile option	Description
All Source Average	Display a single source for each matching unique process name. It will show an average value of metrics along with count of processes for the source. This option is useful when focus is on the number of processes running or average utilization of particular processes.
All Individual Source	Display all unique sources (unlike average, even if multiple processes have the same process name, they are distinguished with index. For example, processname1 .. processnameN). This option is useful when individual process monitoring is crucial.
Longest Running	Display the single source that matches the process running for the longest period of time.
First Match	Display the first process that matches the regex parameter.
Parent	Display the parent processes that matching the regex parameters.
