View CMD line arguments

Many time when troubleshooting an application (e.g. ssh.exe) the application is launched with command line arguments (e.g. which ssh server is connected to, etc.).

Is there any way to view the command line for each application?

In Windows Task manager this is available by adding the column Command line in the Processes section.

@ajain93 we considered doing this, but we worried that collecting these could potentially be a security concern? But, I guess Task Manager is collecting them anyway? Or, only in real time?

I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t even realize Task Manager does this… so if Task Manager can maybe we should if others agree?

I’d say collecting the command line argument is required for troubleshooting many apps. For example if there in application such as ssh or cmd or rclone is running, there is no way to know whether the execution is malicious if command line arguments are not captured.

Other task managers (such as Windows Task Manager, Process Explorer) can show these, even if it may require enabling the feature, or showing a hidden column.

My personal opinion is that it should be collected, but require a manual setting to show them in the user interface.
