Process group mapping

[Selvam_Sekar]

Hi,

There are two different application process groups runs on same bunch of hosts. To differentiate them for better monitoring, I have created two management zones (MZ), trying to create tag to the process groups and in MZ condition try to add the tag.

could you pls suggest whether creating tags might help here or any alternatives ?

Thanks,
Selvam.

Hello, I don't believe your tagging approach will work. You'll have to use the Process Group Detection rules to separate process groups by some property such as a Java system property or Environment variable. The process grouping occurs when the process starts. Look at the properties (metadata) of the process to see if there is something already there that can be used to separate your process groups. If you have a large environment you may need to be cautious of the rule you implement, i.e. it only applies to the desired groups and doesn't affect other processes as well.
