Vedr.: Monitoring a group of processes

[Thomas Jens Lauritsen]

Hi Kevin,

I have made a shell-plugin that ask for a group of processes.

It uses SNMP to get the data which I pipe to tmp-file.

Then I reread the file via grep etc. until I have a status which I then
tell Nagois about.

In the services.cfg it look like this.

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use
        host_name                       SERVER-XXXX
        service_description             AVIRUSTASKS
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              2
        normal_check_interval           15
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  xxxxxx-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command
check_tasks.sh!public!nantigen.exe!nasched.exe!nnwall.exe!nnwalljp.exe!
        }

As you can see I check for these four processes on a windows box:
nantigen.exe ; nasched.exe ; nnwall.exe ; nnwalljp.exe

Best reegards

Thomas

I am running nagios 2.0b5 on Fedora core 3.  I wanted to know if it is
capable of monitoring a group of processes?
An example is smbd and nmbd.  You need both of them to be running for
Samba to be operational.  I can use the command
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -C smbd to see that the smbd
processes are running, and I can do the same thing
For nmbd, but how do I look at them together?  This is just an example.
I am using this to monitor the project specific
Application we run, but it involves multiple processes.  I would like to
monitor each process, and report on the application
Being up as a whole.  Your assistance in this matter is greatly
appreciated.
