Hi [@sundarv1](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/74312) Please check [Which are the most important processes?](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/most-important-processes) to understand why your process is not monitored OOTB. Dynatrace provides the option of [monitoring specific processes that is not mark as important process](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/process-groups). HTH Yos ---

It was just and example … May be your executable path is not right? i.e. include also the executable name not only the path?! Any how you can try other process properties ![Yosi_Neuman_0-1714829544965.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/9/9ba3c2d393473a2fbab4ca34412abf9d08018785.png) And finally be sure to restart the xcom process in order to check you declarative or any other process setting.
