Hi Kevin, I have made a shell-plugin that ask for a group of processes.
It uses SNMP to get the data which I pipe to tmp-file. Then I reread the file via grep etc. until I have a status which I then tell Nagois about. In the services.cfg it look like this. # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name SERVER-XXXX service_description AVIRUSTASKS is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 15 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups xxxxxx-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_tasks.sh!public!nantigen.exe!nasched.exe!nnwall.exe!nnwalljp.exe! } As you can see I check for these four processes on a windows box: nantigen.exe ; nasched.exe ; nnwall.exe ; nnwalljp.exe Best reegards Thomas |---------+----------------------------------------> | | "Kevin Alford" | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | .com> | | | Sendt af: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | ceforge.net | | | | | | | | | 14-12-2005 14:37 | | | | |---------+----------------------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | Til: "nagios-users" <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> | | cc: | | Vedr.: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a group of processes | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| I am running nagios 2.0b5 on Fedora core 3. I wanted to know if it is capable of monitoring a group of processes? An example is smbd and nmbd. You need both of them to be running for Samba to be operational. I can use the command /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -C smbd to see that the smbd processes are running, and I can do the same thing For nmbd, but how do I look at them together? This is just an example. I am using this to monitor the project specific Application we run, but it involves multiple processes. I would like to monitor each process, and report on the application Being up as a whole. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Kevin D.
