Process Tagging

Process Tagging

Process tagging lets you assign a string to newly started or restarted instances so they are easier to identify. This is most useful for recording the version of your application that you are currently deploying. For example:

procodile start -t 189f7ca

Once a tag is set, it is assigned to all processes started while that tag is active. It is usually a good idea to pass it to your start and restart commands.

Tags are shown in procodile status, which can help you identify old or stale processes that have not stopped during normal operation. For scheduled processes, the tag is only visible while a scheduled instance is actually running.
