Process¶

After process data collection is successful, it will be reported to the Guance console. In Infrastructure under Process, you can view all process data information within the current workspace for the last 10 minutes.

Query and Analysis¶

Enter the Process Explorer, Guance supports querying process data through keyword search, adding label filters, sorting, and other methods.

Time Widget: The process list supports viewing processes collected within the last ten minutes. By clicking the play button, you can refresh to the current time range and retrieve a new data list. Clicking the time range allows you to view process playback:
- After dragging, the refresh pauses, and the time displayed is [start time-end time], with a query time range of 5 minutes;
- After dragging, historical process data is queried;
- After dragging, click the play button or refresh the page to return to viewing the most recent 10 minutes of processes.

Search and Filtering: In the Explorer search bar, various search methods are supported, including keyword search, wildcard search, etc.; filtering by labels/attributes values, including positive and negative filtering, among others.
Quick Filter: Edit quick filters to add new filter fields. After completion, you can select field values for quick filtering.
Custom Display Columns: Customize the addition, editing, deletion, and dragging of display columns via Display Columns.
Sorting: Hover over the list menu and click “ Sort” to sort based on selected tags in ascending or descending order.
Analysis Mode: Supports multi-dimensional analysis and statistics using 1-3 labels, reflecting data distribution characteristics across different dimensions. Multiple data chart analysis methods are supported, including Top Lists, pie charts, and treemaps.

Data Export: The settings icon in the top-right corner of the Explorer supports exporting the current object list data to CSV files or scene dashboards and notes.
- Export to CSV file: Save the current list as a CSV file locally;
- Export to Dashboard: Save the current list as a visual chart to a specified dashboard;
- Export to Note: Save the current list as a visual chart to a specified note.

If you need to export a specific data entry, open the details page of that entry and click the icon in the top-right corner.

Process Details Page¶

Clicking on a process name in the process list will slide out a detail page showing detailed information about the process object, including associated objects, Label attributes, additional extended attributes, and related metrics, logs, hosts, networks, etc.

Associated Analysis¶

Guance supports associated analysis for each process. On the process detail page, besides basic process information, you can comprehensively monitor the metrics, logs, host, network, etc., related to the process.

Host Query¶

By clicking the host tag on the process detail page, you can query data related to the host associated with the process.

Action	Description
Filter Field Value	Add this field to the Explorer to view all data related to this field.
Reverse Filter Field Value	Add this field to the Explorer to view data excluding this field.
Add to Display Columns	Add this field to the Explorer list for viewing.
Copy	Copy this field to the clipboard.
View Related Logs	View all logs related to this host.
View Related Containers	View all containers related to this host.
View Related Processes	View all processes related to this host.
View Related Traces	View all traces related to this host.
View Related Inspections	View all inspection data related to this host.

Associated Metrics/Logs/Host¶

In the detail page, switch content tabs to:

MetricsLogsHostNetwork

You can monitor the performance status of the process within the last 24 hours, including CPU usage, memory usage, number of open files, etc.

Note: Process metric data collection is not automatically enabled by default and requires manual configuration of the process collector to enable metric collection. Once enabled, the metrics in the image will display data.

For enabling methods, refer to Processes.

You can view logs and log counts related to the process within the last hour and perform keyword searches, multi-label filtering, and time sorting on these logs.

To view more detailed log information: Click the log content to jump to the corresponding log detail page, or click to jump to the Logs to view all logs related to the host;
To view more log fields or complete log content: Adjust the "maximum number of rows displayed" and "display columns" via the associated log Explorer's Display Columns.

Note: For a smoother user experience, Guance saves user browsing settings (including "maximum number of rows displayed" and "display columns") in Logs by default to ensure consistency between Associated Logs and Logs. However, custom adjustments made in Associated Logs are not saved after exiting the page.

You can view basic information about related hosts (associated field: host) and their performance metric status within the selected time widget range.

Field host

To view related hosts in process details, the host field must match; otherwise, the related host page will not be visible in process details.

Attribute View: Includes basic host information, integration runtime status, and cloud provider information if cloud host collection is enabled;
Metric View: Displays default 24-hour performance metrics for related hosts, such as CPU and memory. Click Open This View to Built-in Views, where you can clone and customize host views, saving them as user views accessible from the process detail page.

Network traffic between hosts, Pods, Deployments, and Services can be viewed. After successful network data collection for processes, it will be reported to the Guance console. In Infrastructure > Process detail page under Network, you can view network data based on hosts or process services.

Bind Built-in Views¶

Guance supports binding built-in views to Explorers. Click to bind a built-in view to add a new view to the current host detail page. You can customize the relevant content of the process object and create a binding relationship.

Note: Before binding built-in views, confirm that the bound built-in view contains fields related to the process, such as process_id.
