Nothing really distinguishes these processes they all act like "threads". Dynatrace detects this properly. A single Process Group Instance is detected for these Node.js processes. The Worker processes tell you how many node.js processes run just now in that particular Process Group Instance</P> Wed, 07 Mar 2018 08:44:09 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/What-is-a-Worker-Process/m-p/57884#M3081 michael_kopp 2018-03-07T08:44:09Z
