The Process Name Client Workload identification method is applicable to Virtual Machine deployments and utilizes the name of the process associated with the Client Workload to identify and distinguish it from other workloads.
Applicable Deployment Type
Section titled “Applicable Deployment Type”This method is suitable for Aembit Edge-based deployments.
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”Aembit Cloud
Section titled “Aembit Cloud”- Create a new Client Workload.
- Choose Process Name for client identification.
- In the Value field, enter the exact name of the process that represents the Client Workload.
Finding the Process Name
Section titled “Finding the Process Name”- Open a terminal on your Linux VM.
- Use system monitoring tools, or commands like
psortopon the virtual machine, to list running processes and identify the relevant process name.
Alternatively, you can often find the process name in the Client Workload’s configuration files or documentation.
Uniqueness
Section titled “Uniqueness”Process name identification is inherently not unique, as processes with the same name could exist on multiple virtual machines. To enhance uniqueness, consider combining Process Name with other client identifiers, such as Hostname. For more information on using multiple identifiers effectively, please consult the Client Workload multiple identifiers documentation to enhance uniqueness.
