ksy-electron-process-manager v2.0.1

Process Manager UI for Electron Apps

This package has been forked from https://github.com/getstation/electron-process-manager but it doesn't work on electron 11 +. So I have fixed and upgraded some featuers. This package provides a process manager UI for Electron applications. This package works on any electron version. The old package didn't work on electron 11 +. So I have upgraded this package.

It opens a window displaying a table of every processes run by the Electron application with information (type, URL for webContents, memory..).

It can be useful to debug performance of an app with several webview.

It's inspired from Chrome's task manager.

Features

• Memory reporting
• Link memory data to web-contents (for electron >=1.7.1)
• Kill a process from the UI
• Open developer tools for a given process
• CPU metrics
• Sort by columns

                    path: 'cpu.percentCPUUsage',
                    how: 'descending'
                }
            });
