CVD Process Names

Hello, we are currently using the CVD to trace packaged builds running on PS5 dev kits using the chaos visual debugger’s session browser feature. The issue we are running into is that all instances of our game show up in the session browser with . The process id is seemingly random and often overlaps between machines.

Is there a way to set the display name of the process when starting the game? We have found that -SessionName= works for servers but have not found an equivalent for client instances of the game.

Additionally as a feature request, would it be possible to add filters to the session browser to filter by relevant metadata and ip addresses? i.e. Platform, Build CL, Test/Development, Editor/Game/Server/Executable (CVD itself shows up as an executable to connect to I’ve noticed), Ip, Device Name. Not sure what information is available from CVD’s end but surfacing more would make it easier to select a target to connect to at a glance. Being able to set the session display name would fix our immediate issues though.

Hi, -SessionName= should be supported both in client and servers.

I will make a note to investigate if there is an issue with that feature in devkits.

The name you currently see by default it is the PojectName + Target Type + PID

Regarding additional metadata, under the hood CVD has the build type (Editor/Client/Server), but not platform or config. I agree it will be useful.

I think this will need its own session browser window, similar to what we have in Insights
