Process group detection rules based on environment variables

d_sarais — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 12:46:26 GMT

Hi all! Have you ever set an environment variable to use it in custom process group detection rules?

We have servers that restarts every day and I can't find a solution to set a permanent environment variable on Linux.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,

as I understand, you are adding environment variable in OS and after restart it dissapear? I'm using this option in daily environment configurations. It is working fine.

I think here is proper solution:

Generally you can alway try to find solution for you os version and distribution. You need permanent solution, not session one 🙂

This really depends on how your services are started (shell script, systemd unit file, sysv init script). The best method is to set (export) the variable in the startup script/systemd unit file itself and not setting up the user or system shell profile.
