• 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.

C.10.9. RHN Satellite Server::Process Health
The RHN Satellite Server::Process Health probe monitors customer-specified processes and collects
the following metrics:
• CPU Usage — The CPU usage percent for a given process.
• Child Process Groups — The number of child processes spawned from the specified parent
process. A child process inherits most of its attributes, such as open files, from its parent.
• Threads — The number of running threads for a given process. A thread is the basic unit of CPU
utilization, and consists of a program counter, a register set, and a stack space. A thread is also
called a lightweight process.
• Physical Memory Used — The amount of physical memory in kilobytes being used by the specified
process.
