Process management

Objective​

Add process listing and management. Useful for troubleshooting and monitoring resource consumption on the appliance.

API Endpoints​

GET    /process              - List running processes (with filters)
GET    /process/{pid}        - Get process details
POST   /process/{pid}/signal - Send signal to process (kill, term, hup)

Operations​

  • process.list.get (query)
  • process.status.get (query)
  • process.signal.execute (modify)

Provider​

  • internal/provider/node/process/
  • Use gopsutil or parse /proc/ directly
  • Return type: ProcessInfo with PID, name, user, CPU%, memory%, state, command line, start time
  • Support filtering by user, name pattern, state
  • Support sorting by CPU, memory, PID

Notes​

  • Killing processes is privileged — require elevated scope
  • Scopes: process:read, process:write
  • Consider pagination for large process lists
  • Top-N by CPU/memory is a common use case
