metrics:
• CPU Usage — The CPU usage rate for a given process in milliseconds per second. This
metric reports the
time
column of
ps
output, which is the cumulative CPU time used by the
process. This makes the metric independent of probe interval, allows sane thresholds to be
set, and generates usable graphs (i.e. a sudden spike in CPU usage shows up as a spike in
the graph).
• 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 (or RAM) in kilobytes used by the
specified process.
• Virtual Memory Used — The amount of virtual memory in kilobytes used by the specified
process, or the size of the process in real memory plus swap.
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 will be set to a CRITICAL state.
Requirements — The Red Hat Network Monitoring Daemon (
rhnmd
) must be running on the
monitored system to execute this probe.
