Filtering

NSolid 1.2 includes new filtering functionality in the Cluster View for quickly focussing on groups of processes:

You can filter processes by various attributes including pid, host, process title and tag.

The filter input offers helpful auto-completion suggestions:

Tags

Tags were also introduced in N|Solid 1.2 and allow for strings of arbitrary metadata to be associated with a process. This can be useful for process identification and grouping. Each process can be assigned any number of tags on startup via the NSOLID_TAGS environment variable:

> NSOLID_TAGS='us-east-1,role:login' nsolid app.js

For detail on what constitutes a valid tag, see the NSOLID_TAGS documentation.

Once you've assigned some tags to processes, tags can be used as filters in the Cluster View:

This is only the first release for both filtering and tags, so expect many improvements and additional features in future versions. Check out tagging and filtering in N|Solid for yourself.
