Settings API - Process availability schema table

Process availability (`builtin:processavailability`)

This feature allows you to monitor if at least one process matching the specified monitoring rule exists on your host. If no process running on your host matches the rule, you receive an alert. If you also enable Process instance snapshots, you receive a detailed report on the activity of the most resource-consuming processes, as well as on the latest activity of the processes matching the rule.

In order to monitor the availability of a certain group of processes, you must first define a monitoring rule. Give your monitoring rule a unique name and add its detection rules to which Dynatrace will match the processes on your host.

For more details, see Process availability
