Description

Will provide Windows client support for the new Process datatype, which
contains information about cpu usage, memory usage, I/O and process
elapsed time - for selected processes.

This patch requires Patch481 to be installed on the server.
You must specify which processes to account for, since this functionality
is rather costly in terms of system resources.
To specify processes, edit the appusage_process_rules_rel.conf file on
the server, which is then distributed to the clients.

Also, this patch introduces selective module logging. You need to install
patch #493 on the server, to enable this option.
To specify modules, edit the appusage_modpoller_rel.conf file on the
server, which is then distributed to the clients.

Patch 1052 — Fixed bug in AppUsage process handling
Because of an algorithmic error in AppUsage, some processes just starting
could be logged as just ended, if the process information could not be
accessed right away. This has now been fixed.
Patch 1050 — Fixed bug in AppUsage process handling
Because of an algorithmic error in AppUsage, some processes just starting
could be logged as just ended, if the process information could not be
