new-process-filter

Synopsis

new-process-filter ["name"] software-component ["pattern"]

Description

Create a process filter with the name given by the name argument. This object uses OS Awareness to restricts instrumentation tools to be enabled only when certain processes or threads are being executed. A node path pattern is used to specify the process nodes to follow. A pattern can just be a simple string naming a process to track, e.g., "grep" or it can be a more complicated one. For more information about node path patterns see the Analyzer User Guide.

To add a pattern either use the pattern argument or use the <process_pattern>.add-pattern command once a process_filter has been created. If no patterns are given nothing will be instrumented if the filter is added to a tool.

The software-component argument specifies which os-awareness object to use.
