Consider adding ppid to the mix - cometimes _what_ started a process is also quite valuable (if firefox starts bash, worry more than, say, sshd)

It looks like the falco rules mention proc.ppid.duration, but there's not yet a rule that matches on ppid: rules/falco_rules.yaml https://github.com/falcosecurity/rules/blob/main/rules/falco... :

> Tuning suggestions include looking at the duration of the parent process (proc.ppid.duration) to define your long-running app processes. Checking for newer fields such as proc.vpgid.name and proc.vpgid.exe instead of the direct parent process being a non-shell application could make the rule more robust.
