Service to check if a process is running on a remote host

[zmanzbo]

Hello,
I have nagios and oreon all setup and has been running for quite sometime, but I am not looking to monitor a process on a remote host. If someone could please help me out and let me know the best way to accomplish this, that would be great.

Thanks!

check_snmp_process.pl does work for me.

hint: if using the -u switch,use as well the -a switch when monitoring a multi-processor server.

That will let you monitor a process by name?

So say my process name is Report, I would use the check command check_snmp_process. What would I put in for the check command argument?

Thanks!

sure:


$USER1$/check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -n Report -C public

Hmm I dont see check_snmp_process in my oreon drop down box.

Never mind, used nrpe and check_procs to finally get it going.

Thanks for the help!
