Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring CPU load - capturing process list

Hi,

I'm using nagios-statd to monitor the CPU load of several machines. They
sometimes record high CPU load when an engineer isn't immediately
available
to diagnose the problem.

Is there someway of capturing and storing the results of 'top' so the
problem can be looked at a later date?

Or, I suppose, more appropriately (and dangerously if not done right)
running arbitrary commands on the machine in response to alerts and
capturing this output somewhere.

Thanks,

Sam
