The Processes view in Infrastructure & Operations Infrastructure & Operations provides a dedicated inventory for viewing, filtering, and inspecting processes independently or in relation to hosts and containers. Navigate between entities to see how they are interconnected.

Filter processes by host, container, process group, and other fields to analyze and compare across your environment. Each process displays detailed insights, including CPU and memory usage trends, logs, events, and time-series charts.

Overview

The Processes view provides different perspectives for viewing your processes (Health, Utilization, and Metadata).

The Health perspective includes the following default columns:

  • Process: The process name or identifier. Select the name for a comprehensive, full-page view with detailed metadata, logs, events, and time-series charts.
  • Process group name: The group to which the process belongs.
  • Health alerts: Displays health alerts and warning signals powered by Davis AI. For details, see View health alerts and warning signals.
  • Custom alerts: Lists any active custom alerts associated with the process.
  • Availability: Shows the current availability status of the process.
  • Technologies: The technologies detected for this process.

Use cases

  • Filter and inspect processes across multiple hosts and containers

    Use filters to view processes by host, container, process group, and other relevant fields, enabling broader analysis across your entire environment.

  • Access detailed metrics and charts

    Select a process to access a full-page view with detailed metadata, logs, events, and time-series charts (for example, CPU, memory, network traffic) for deeper analysis and troubleshooting.

  • Navigate between related entities

    Navigate between hosts, containers, and processes to see how they are interconnected and view the full infrastructure context.

  • Identify problematic processes

    Use the Health alerts and Custom alerts columns with status filters to quickly identify processes with problems.

  • Visualize resource trends

    Visualize CPU and memory usage trends across all processes using the graph view to compare performance and identify anomalies.

  • Organize with tags

    Add technology-type tags at the process or process group level for simplified filtering and automation.

  • Deep monitoring insights

    Drill down to detailed process-level insights, including versioning and release information, when deep monitoring is activated.
