Process

Process Attributes

An operating system process.

Attribute Type Description Examples Stability
process.command string The command used to launch the process (i.e. the command name). On Linux based systems, can be set to the zeroth string in proc/[pid]/cmdline. On Windows, can be set to the first parameter extracted from GetCommandLineW. cmd/otelcol Experimental
process.command_args string[] All the command arguments (including the command/executable itself) as received by the process. On Linux-based systems (and some other Unixoid systems supporting procfs), can be set according to the list of null-delimited strings extracted from proc/[pid]/cmdline. For libc-based executables, this would be the full argv vector passed to main. cmd/otecol; --config=config.yaml Experimental
process.command_line string The full command used to launch the process as a single string representing the full command. On Windows, can be set to the result of GetCommandLineW. Do not set this if you have to assemble it just for monitoring; use process.command_args instead. C:\cmd\otecol --config="my directory\config.yaml" Experimental
process.creation.time string The date and time the process was created, in ISO 8601 format. 2023-11-21T09:25:34.853Z Experimental
process.executable.name string The name of the process executable. On Linux based systems, can be set to the Name in proc/[pid]/status. On Windows, can be set to the base name of GetProcessImageFileNameW. otelcol Experimental
process.executable.path string The full path to the process executable. On Linux based systems, can be set to the target of proc/[pid]/exe. On Windows, can be set to the result of GetProcessImageFileNameW. /usr/bin/cmd/otelcol Experimental
process.exit.code int The exit code of the process. 127 Experimental
process.exit.time string The date and time the process exited, in ISO 8601 format. 2023-11-21T09:26:12.315Z Experimental
process.group_leader.pid int The PID of the process's group leader. This is also the process group ID (PGID) of the process. 23 Experimental
process.interactive boolean Whether the process is connected to an interactive shell. Experimental
process.owner string The username of the user that owns the process. root Experimental
process.parent_pid int Parent Process identifier (PPID). 111 Experimental
process.pid int Process identifier (PID). 1234 Experimental
process.real_user.id int The real user ID (RUID) of the process. 1000 Experimental
process.real_user.name string The username of the real user of the process. operator Experimental
process.runtime.description string An additional description about the runtime of the process, for example a specific vendor customization of the runtime environment. Eclipse OpenJ9 Eclipse OpenJ9 VM openj9-0.21.0 Experimental
process.runtime.name string The name of the runtime of this process. For compiled native binaries, this SHOULD be the name of the compiler. OpenJDK Runtime Environment Experimental
process.runtime.version string The version of the runtime of this process, as returned by the runtime without modification. 14.0.2 Experimental
process.saved_user.id int The saved user ID (SUID) of the process. 1002 Experimental
process.saved_user.name string The username of the saved user. operator Experimental
process.session_leader.pid int The PID of the process's session leader. This is also the session ID (SID) of the process. 14 Experimental
process.user.id int The effective user ID (EUID) of the process. 1001 Experimental
process.user.name string The username of the effective user of the process. root Experimental
process.vpid int Virtual process identifier. [1] 12 Experimental

[1]: The process ID within a PID namespace. This is not necessarily unique across all processes on the host but it is unique within the process namespace that the process exists within.
