Monitoring a monitoring-target process

A computer program product comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing program code configured to be executed by a monitored server computer to implement a method for monitoring a monitoring-target process, said method comprising:

• said computer searching a monitoring-condition registry for a monitoring condition record that controls implementation of the monitoring-target process, said searching comprising using a process label as a search key for said searching, said process label uniquely identifying the monitoring-target process, said monitoring-condition registry being a file or database stored in a data storage device in the computer;
• said computer determining from said searching that the monitoring condition record is stored in the monitoring-condition registry and in response said computer deleting the monitoring condition record from the monitoring-condition registry;
• after said deleting the monitoring condition record, said computer determining the monitoring conditions controlling implementation of the monitoring-target process;
• after said determining the monitoring conditions, said computer generating the monitoring condition record that includes the determined monitoring conditions;
• and
• after said generating the monitoring condition record, said computer storing the monitoring condition record in the monitoring-condition registry.
