Mapping a process name with a changing version name to an application name

Avatar
André Nydegger Wermundsen

In a system I'm working on I have a lot of processes that need to be mapped to application names.
This mostly works fine with the ProcessToApplicationMapping, but some of the processes are hard to make a dynamic fix for:

 

[ProcessToApplicationMapping]

2017 Glamer.exe = Glamer
2018 Glamer.exe = Glamer
Budget_v30.exe = Budget
Accounting 3-6-3-2.exe = Accounting software

 

Is there any way to use regex or similar to account for the different version names in the process names?

    Hi André,

    We have released version 5.1 and with it support for environment variables as well as regular expressions.

    Hi André,

    We are afraid regex or placeholders are not supported at the moment. However, it would be a nice enhancement. Thanks for bringing this up.

    We will discuss it internally and eventually ship it in a future version.

    Hi Dominik

     

    Thank you for your quick answer. 

    Can you think of any workaround at the moment?

    Unfortunately, there is no workaround. But your request is already in our backlog!

    We have implemented support for environment variables and regular expressions in the [ProcessToApplicationMapping] configuration section. With these changes in place, you can do things like the following:

    %ProgramData%\\Microsoft\\Windows Defender\\Platform\\.+\\.+\.exe = Windows Defender

    This will be released in uberAgent 5.1 before the end of summer (if all goes well).
