description: This search looks for process names that consist only of a single letter.
how_to_implement: You must be ingesting data that records process activity from your
hosts to populate the Endpoint data model in the Processes node. You must also be
ingesting logs with both the process name and command line from your endpoints.
The command-line arguments are mapped to the "process" field in the Endpoint data
model.
