Sendmail may not be the best process to use for testing process monitoring. According to my notes, depending on the flavour of Linux you're using you may or may not have transient sendmail processes.
I currently have a windows/linux (Centos)/BSD environment and here's my regex: (^sendmail$)|(^sendmail: accepting) The bsd servers have a "sendmail" process, while the Centos servers have a "sendmail: accepting" process and spawn additional sendmail processes as needed. This caused me some grief when I started monitoring it, because I'd get alerts when the transient processes went away. That being said, you may need to modify your default net-snmp config file to actually allow process statuses to be monitored. They're not in the default SNMP set up which is: view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1 If my Google skills haven't failed me the process table is here: view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2 -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=37273#37273 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
