[xymon] Monitoring multiple Linux Processes

[Newton, Steve (MBS)]

This is what I see when I list the host servers:

HOST=Hostname1,Hostname2,Hostname3,Hostname4,Hostname5,Hostname6
       PROC netman
       PROC batchman
       PROC jobman

Results:

green netman (found 1, req. 1 or more)
green batchman (found 1, req. 1 or more)
green jobman (found 1, req. 1 or more)

This is what I see when I use PAGE/SUBPAGE

PAGE=infrastructure/noc
       PROC batchman
       PROC jobman
       PROC netman

Results:

green batchman (found 1, req. 1 or more)

What he is asking for is if there is one proc column for each proc.  There is not.

The proc column for the host includes EVERY ps.  If any one ps goes down the color changes for that one column (proc).  You would need to make a script to monitor a ps and create another column.

I'm not sure what you mean by that:

* Does it only check for the first of those processes, so you have
 only one red/green "dot" on the detailed "procs" status display?
 There should be one red/green dot for each of the processes
 listed, e.g. like that on the demo site - see
 http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=procs

* Or does it check all of the processes, but only on the first
 host on the page ?
