Version 1.0

# this configuration is of a more general nature, and identifies
# a number of "interesting" classes of processes ... it is assumed
# that some other monitoring tool, like pmie, would be able to 
# decide which processes are members of each "interesting" class
#
# a sample pmie ruleset matching this hotproc configuration may
# be found in $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hotproc/general.pmie
