PROCESS MONITORING
The hrSWRun group of the Host Resources MIB provides information about individual processes
running on the local system. The prTable of the UCD-SNMP-MIB complements this by reporting on
selected services (which may involve multiple processes).
proc NAME [MAX [MIN]]
-
monitors the number of processes called NAME (as reported by "/bin/ps -e") running on the
local system.
-
If the number of NAMEd processes is less than MIN or greater than MAX, then the
corresponding prErrorFlag instance will be set to 1, and a suitable description message
reported via the prErrMessage instance.
o
Note: This situation will not automatically trigger a trap to report the problem - see
the DisMan Event MIB section later.
-
If neither MAX nor MIN are specified (or are both 0), they will default to infinity and 1
respectively ("at least one"). If only MAX is specified, MIN will default to 0 ("no more than
MAX").
procfix NAME PROG ARGS
-
registers a command that can be run to fix errors with the given process NAME. This will be
invoked when the corresponding prErrFix instance is set to 1.
o
Note: This command will not be invoked automatically.
-
The procfix directive must be specified after the matching proc directive, and cannot be used
on its own.
If no proc directives are defined, then walking the prTable will fail (noSuchObject).
SYSTEM LOAD MONITORING
load MAX1 [MAX5 [MAX15]]
-
monitors the load average of the local system, specifying thresholds for the 1-minute, 5-
minute and 15-minute averages. If any of these loads exceed the associated maximum value,
then the corresponding laErrorFlag instance will be set to 1, and a suitable description
message reported via the laErrMessage instance.
o
Note: This situation will not automatically trigger a trap to report the problem - see
the DisMan Event MIB section later.
-
If the MAX15 threshold is omitted, it will default to the MAX5 value. If both MAX5 and
MAX15 are omitted, they will default to the MAX1 value. If this directive is not specified, all
three thresholds will default to a value of DEFMAXLOADAVE.
-
If a threshold value of 0 is given, the agent will not report errors via the relevant laErrorFlag
or laErrMessage instances, regardless of the current load.
Unlike the proc and disk directives, walking the laTable will succeed, even if the load directive is not
present.
