C.10.7. RHN Satellite Server::Process Counts
The RHN Satellite Server::Process Counts probe monitors the number of processes on a
Satellite and collects the following metrics:
•
Blocked — The number of processes that have been switched to the waiting queue and
waiting state.
•
Child — The number of processes spawned by another process already running on the
machine.
•
Defunct — The number of processes that have terminated (either because they have
been killed by a signal or have called
exit()
) and whose parent processes have not yet
received notification of their termination by executing some form of the
wait()
system
call.
•
Stopped — The number of processes that have stopped before their executions could be
completed.
•
Sleeping — A process that is in the
Interruptible
sleep state and that can later be
reintroduced into memory, resuming execution where it left off.
