How does pSnapper translate [kworker/6:99], [kworker/6:98], etc into the pattern (kworker/*:*)? I would like similar functionality for log analysis. Edit: Nev

How does pSnapper translate [kworker/6:99], [kworker/6:98], etc into the pattern (kworker/*:*)? I would like similar functionality for log analysis. Edit: Nevermind. I skipped over the key paragraph here: > By default, pSnapper replaces any digits in the task’s comm field before aggregating (the comm2 field would leave them intact). Now it’s easy to see that our extreme system load spike was caused by a large number of kworker kernel threads (with “root” as process owner). So this is not about some userland daemon running under root, but a kernel problem.
