Feature Requests / Re: Auto Log Rotation

« Last post by Jeremy Collake on Yesterday at 01:23:58 PM »

As of v10 (now in beta), the logs are all CSV.

There are also some new registry settings to control the rotation rate and depth, which I'll document soon.

This should allow for what you want.

I invite you to try it if you feel adventurous. I always appreciate your feedback.

Currently, the v10 release is scheduled for a couple weeks.

Feature Requests / Re: Auto Log Rotation

« Last post by edkiefer on Yesterday at 08:52:17 AM »

Would it be possible to get an auto log-rotation function, which saves logs to CSV in intervals? I can see in the log output folder that the ability is already there, albeit in non-CSV format.

This would be helpful as there are times when I look back in the log and investigate something anomalous, it's helpful to be able to see what other system actions/launches/terminations happened around that same time.

Did you know all those log entries are now in CSV format (processlasso.log.0 - processlasso.log.9).

Also, there is a new sampling log data that can run at X intervals (options>log settings>configure sampling), but it is more of a process list info than action log data (no action data).

They are definitely easy to miss in dark mode. I'm working on it . Planned to improve by v10. Dark Mode has been quite painful to implement properly.

How is that different from the filter box already present over the right side of actions pane? It should function exactly as you describe, an all-encompassing live filter of the actions listview.

The filter boxes aren't very visible in dark mode, but a pending change will make the background of the filter edit controls darker than the main window background.

Well I'll be damned! Look at that, right there in front of me under my nose. And even one for the process pane, too!

Ha awesome, this is great. Thanks for the heads-up. Good idea about the color differentiation of the input boxes.

General / Re: Process user/kernel time - explanation?

« Last post by Jeremy Collake on February 15, 2021, 11:42:44 AM »

Those metrics are cumulative for the entire existence of each process, not only since Process Lasso started. Process Lasso doesn't keep track of those, the OS does.

Please let me know if I can clarify anything further.

General / Process user/kernel time - explanation?

« Last post by empleat on February 14, 2021, 09:15:10 PM »

Hello,

I can see under process user time and kernel time. I know what it means. I am just interested in stats. Is this average time, after whole time of process lasso is running? Or over some period. Also does P Lasso counter it, if logging is disabled?

That would be helpful, I can't find it in documentation, nor google it.

Is there any benefit to having Process Lasso not run as a service? Not that I want to, just curious.

For most users, there is no benefit to running the governor as a normal process. That would only be useful in some rare situations, such as not being able to install a service. Previous limitations to the governor-as-a-service have all been resolved.

EDIT: The one remaining exception is 'Keep Running' rules to auto-restart an application Those still require the governor to be running within the user session of the target process.
