Issue/Introduction

We are getting alarms from the processes probe for the java.exe process when it consumes >=60% CPU. This is not really high for this process. How can we exclude it?

Environment

UIM 8.5.1
processes 4.60

Resolution

Use a Regex for the process name on the profile /^((?!java.exe).)*$/
