Project

Hooto Tracker use Project to match and manage the processes that need to be tracked.

You can choose different matching pattens to match one or multiple processes in creating a New Project

• Process ID
• Process Name
• Process Command line content

Tips

• Resource Monitoring (CPU, Memory, IO, Net, ...) is collected in real time, until the process exits
• Dynamic Tracing (CPU FlameGraph) is automatically runs in every 20 minutes, 2 minutes each time

Example of FlameGraph in Dynamic Tracing

Processes (Top N)

Hooto Tracker also create a simple page that list the Top N processes, and you can click on the process to create a New Project with a shortcut way.
