You could always ask for the feature in ESALPS, since it makes the snmp
request.

If you want something more elaborate, I could introduce you to Hobbit.
Among lots of other things, it can do process monitoring and can match
process names via a regular expression and it can alert if too many or
too few are running.

Sort of, but really it's more general than ESALPS -- which is why I'm asking
here.  SNMP has the ability to create alerts based on too few or too many
processes, but it seems to require exact process names to create these. I'm
not wanting ESALPS to create the alerts, just report on alerts created by
the Penguins.

This sounds like an ESALPS support question.

Unfortunately Velocity's ESALPS doesn't use grep.  I would
also have
to code for each possible process name.

If snmp returns a list like that, then just use grep.

I'm wanting to put in a directive in snmpd.conf to monitor
oracle process.
Specifically the "ora_s???_KIDS" processes as seen below.
When oracle
creates a new server process, it increments the number in
the process name.
Unfortunately, snmpd doesn't seem to support wildcards for
process names.
Is this an accurate observation?  Is there some way I could
be able to
monitor it?
