Process information

Process name

Enter a process name which is listed in the Task Manager, e.g. "WINWORD.EXE". A list of processes from the server can be retrieved by clicking on the Select process button. In the list window, double-click on the desired process for selection. Note that the process name is case sensitive.

The field supports the wildcard characters * (any number of characters) and ? (one character), so values like WIN*.EXE or notep??.exe will match all processes whose name fits the pattern.

Process event type

A dropdown that controls which lifecycle event the Trigger reacts to:

  • Process start — monitor for new processes being created
  • Process end — monitor for the termination of a running process
