Subject: [SA-list] *NIX Process Check
On a Linux box we have a cron setup to run every 5 minutes that performs some
external monitoring on our WAN. Because it is a cron, if the previous job runs
over the 5 minutes, a new instance will be launched. Then we have 2 of the same
jobs running. If/when we have a WAN outage, there can be numerous numbers of
these instances running. We are utilizing the *NIX Process Check add-on to alert
us when we have 10 or more instances of this cronjob running. It works
well.
What I am wondering is if the number of processes is returned in a
variable that I can use in my alerting? I can see in the log file that the
number of processes meeting our "requirement" is returned. I'd like to be able
to alert with the specific number and possibly use RRD to graph the values (for
possible trending).
Can this be accomplished?
Thanks in advance
for any assistance.
Scott
