What does the "TargetProcessId_decimal" field represent in a ProcessRollup2 event?

The "TargetProcessId_decimal" field in a ProcessRollup2 event represents a unique identifier for running processes. This identification is crucial for tracking process activity within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Each running process on a system is assigned a unique Process ID (PID) that distinguishes it from other processes. This information allows for effective monitoring, analysis, and incident response, as it enables responders to correlate events related to the same process, identify potential malicious behavior, and understand the context of activities within the operating system.

The capacity to uniquely identify processes is fundamental in forensic investigations and behavioral analysis, which is why this field is specifically designed for that purpose. It plays a vital role in creating a comprehensive view of system behavior and security incidents.
