Item^#			Description	Modifiable	Content set by the user in JP1/IM - Agent	Default value in JP1/IM - Agent
process_names			--	--	--	--
-	[name]		Each item in process_names gives a recipe for identifying and naming processes. The optional name tag defines a template to use to name matching processes; if not specified, name defaults to `{{.ExeBase}}`. `{{.Comm}}` contains the basename of the original executable, i.e. 2nd field in `/proc/<pid>/stat` `{{.ExeBase}}` contains the basename of the executable `{{.ExeFull}}`contains the fully qualified path of the executable `{{.Username}}` contains the username of the effective user `{{.Matches}}` map contains all the matches resulting from applying cmdline regexps `{{.PID}}` contains the PID of the process. Note that using PID means the group will only contain a single process. `{{.StartTime}}` contains the start time of the process. This can be useful in conjunction with PID because PIDs get reused over time. `{{.Cgroups}}` contains (if supported) the cgroups of the process (/proc/self/cgroup). This is particularly useful for identifying to which container a process belongs.	Y	Specify this to change the process name to a value other than the default value (executable file name).	{{.ExeBase}};{{.Username}};{{.Matches.cmdline}}
	<selector>		comm, exe or cmdline. If more than one selector is present, they must all match.	REQ	Monitored process selector	cmdline
	-	<any>	For "`comm`" and "`exe`", the list of strings is an OR, meaning any process matching any of the strings will be added to the item's group. For "`cmdline`", the list of regexes is an AND, meaning they all must match. Any capturing groups in a regexp must use the `?P<name>` option to assign a name to the capture, which is used to populate "`.Matches`". `comm` `comm` is the second field of `/proc/<pid>/stat` minus parens. It is the base executable name, truncated at 15 chars. It cannot be modified by the program, unlike `exe`. ex) `bash` `exe` `exe` is `argv[0]`. If no slashes, only basename of `argv[0]` need match. If exe contains slashes, `argv[0]` must match exactly. ex) `/usr/local/bin/prometheus` `cmdline` `cmdline` is a list of regexps applied to argv. Each must match, and any captures are added to the ".Matches" map. Specify this within 4,096 bytes. For details on the process_exporter arguments, see process_exporter command options. ex) `- name: "{{.ExeFull}}:{{.Matches.Cfgfile}}"` `exe:` `- /usr/local/bin/process-exporter` `cmdline:` `- -config.path\s+(?P<Cfgfile>\S+)`	REQ	Monitored process selector value	- (?P<cmdline>.*)

process_exporter command options

Item	Description	Modifiable	Content set by the user in JP1/IM - Agent	Default value in JP1/IM - Agent
-web.listen-address	Address on which to expose metrics and web interface. If omitted, this is specified as :9256.	Y	Specify this to change the port, or to limit IP addresses for listening.	20721
-procnames	comma-separated list of process names to monitor Specify the `comm` field value in `/proc//stat` as the process name. Process names cut off at 15 characters.	Y	--	None
-procfs	path to read proc data from If omitted, this is specified as `/proc`.	Y	--	None
-namemapping	comma-separated list, alternating process name and capturing regex to apply to cmdline Renamed names that are not in the procnames list are ignored. Setting example: `-namemapping "python2,([^/]+).py,java,-jar\s+([^/]+).jar"`	Y	--	None
