Just add this to your debugger configuration file

{
  "type": "node",
  "request": "attach",
  "name": "Attach by Process ID",
  "processId": "${command:PickProcess}",
}

To attach a debugger to a Process Id. A list of processes will be prompted when you run this config., in which you can select process to which you want to attach debugger.
