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

[Thomas Eckert]

Hi Paul,

have a look at `clientlog`, <http://xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man1/xymon.1.html>

You can use the `ps` or `top` section to grep-sed-awk-perl your data from it:

xymon 127.0.0.1 “clientlog your.host section=ps” | grep-sed-awk-perl-magic

Cheers
Thomas

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?
