# 2.3. Monitoring Processes

Kpm displays a list of processes on the host Linux system. By default, it will display all processes. However, it can be changed to show only the current user's processes, non-root processes, or currently running processes through View, as described here.

Kpm displays a number of fields of information about each process. By default, it displays the most common process fields. However, through View, it can be changed to display sets of fields relevant to job control or memory usage, or a custom chosen set of fields, as described here.

Finally, a list of TCP and UDP sockets used by the selected process or processes can be found by selecting Ctrl+I or Process->Socket Info. A process is selected by clicking on it. Multiple processes are selected by holding down Shift while clicking on each of them in turn.
