### Example
To match all firefox processes: `--collector.process.whitelist="firefox.+"`.
Note that multiple processes with the same name will be disambiguated by
Windows by adding a number suffix, such as `firefox#2`. Your regexp must take
Windows by adding a number suffix, such as `firefox#2`. Your [regexp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) must take
these suffixes into consideration.
:warning: The regexp is case-sensitive, so `--collector.process.whitelist="FIREFOX.+"` will **NOT** match a process named `firefox` .
To specify multiple names, use the pipe `|` character:
```
--collector.process.whitelist="firefox.+|FIREFOX.+|chrome.+"
```
This will match all processes named `firefox`, `FIREFOX` or `chrome` .
