Hi, I am searching the best practice to monitor some variables of a specified process. I think this is a common issue but I have not found a FAQ entry.
For the process to be monitored, I have the PID stored in a file. Due to regular stop and starts this may change over time, but of course, the file is maintained by the system. Now I like to monitor some variables, such as memory usage... For the first approach a script get the PID from the file and check the process by ps and finally stores the result into an custom mib which is indexed by a "logical" id. This logical id remains the same even if the process is restarted. My NMS is now able to refer to a fix OID and to alarm me. This approach is not very clever as I need an extra script and a custom mib. Is there a better approach or a best practice to perform such indirect monitoring? Many thanks for any idea Reiner Nix ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
