5.11. Linux::Process Running
The Linux::Process Running probe verifies that the specified process is functioning properly. It
counts either processes or process groups, depending on whether the Count process groups
checkbox is selected.
By default, the checkbox is selected, thereby indicating that the probe should count the number
of process group leaders independent of the number of children. This allows you, for example,
to verify that two instances of the Apache Web server are running regardless of the (dynamic)
number of child processes. If it is not selected, the probe conducts a straightforward count of
the number of processes (children and leaders) matching the specified process.
Specify the process by its command name or process ID. (PID). Entering a PID overrides the
entry of a command name. If no command name or PID is entered, the error
Command not
found
is displayed and the probe enters a CRITICAL state.
Requirements — The Red Hat Network Monitoring Daemon (
rhnmd
) must be running on the
monitored system to execute this probe.
