Hi there

I've run some tests with topbeat and I really like it. What I'm missing so far is the username of the process. Applications are running with dedicated local users for isolation purposes on the same server. Therefore, you have more than one java process running but you don't know to which application it belongs to.

WDYT?

If you're fine I can raise an issue.

Thanks  
Oli

@owulff Agree. I suggest to directly open an issue in the Github repo: [https://github.com/elastic/topbeat](https://github.com/elastic/topbeat)

@lwintergerst The implementation is not done yet. See here the open issue: [https://github.com/elastic/topbeat/issues/36](https://github.com/elastic/topbeat/issues/36)
