[Xymon] alerting on percentage of memory a process is using

[Root, Paul T]

Hi,
                We have a server that has some software that has a memory leak. Upgrading is a long and arduous task. In the meantime, we want to watch the processes so that when they hit 15% or something, we can get alerted. The PROC line in analysis.cfg is just for quantity. So I was thinking I could pull the data out of xymon, and check the process table on the server. I was thinking it was something with xymondboard, but that doesn't seem to be it. Can someone point me in the right direction for this?

                Or maybe it would be better to just have an external script run the ps directly?
