# Create Monitored Process

You can monitor a process by entering the software binary name. Connect monitors the given application name by searching for the currently running process with a similar name on the connected device. 

In most cases, the software binary name is the same as the executable file name. Below are some examples. \
\
 `app.py`  -  For a Python application, enter the main Python application file name that is being executed by Python.\
 `app`  -  For an executable binary file, enter the binary file name.\
 `app.sh`  - For a Bash file, enter the Bash file name.\
 `mysql` - For a ready-service, enter the service name.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: In case of monitoring issues, it is recommended to enter the full path of the running application, for example: `/home/device-app/app.py`.
{% endhint %}

To create a new monitored process, do the following:

1. In the left navigation tree, go to **Alerts**>**Configuration** **tab**>**Processes**>**New Process**.

2. In the Create New Monitored Process wizard, enter the **Binary Name** and click **Next**.
3. Select the devices to be monitored. These can be in a specific group, specific devices you choose, or devices meeting some other criteria that you define. Click **Next**.
4. View the Summary, which shows the number of devices that will monitored, and click **Start Monitoring**.
