How is process status detected on a node? My understanding is that it uses the Host Resources MIB?
I had assumed that in order to collect such MIB data, then the right zCollectorPlugin would need to be active for a device? 2 candidates - snmp.IpServiceMap and snmp.HRSWRunMap - is there any documentation that says exactly what each plugin does? I started with 2 newly-discovered Linux systems both of which just have the 4 standard plugins assigned. I enabled IpServiceMap on one system and HRSWRunMap on another (both support HR MIB). Remodeled both. The one with IpServiceMap now shows which services (TCP ports) are detected on it. The other doesnt - so IPServiceMap is the port detection plugin? Added an OS Process to monitor to both (ftp). Locked them. Bounced zenprocess. Both devices show correct status for ftp and an event is generated for each. What has detected this process??? IpServiceMap? Or are the zCollectorPlugins irrelevant to service and process monitoring (in which case, why does the system where I didn't enable IpServiceMap not show detected services?). Has anyone written a FAQ / HowTo or found good documentation on how this stuff really works? I have tried looking at zenmodeler.log which certainly suggests that it is HRSWRunMap that brings back process info.
