RE: [hobbit] Procs --> output of a process from ps -ef is too long

["Sheets, Jerald" <Jerald.Sheets (at) turner.com>]

Interesting.
 
I was just checking out the output in Xymon 4.3.0-0.beeta2, and the
process listing under "procs" is not truncated at all for me.  
 
I was about to setup a new check, and see what I could come up with, and
I happened to catch the Xymon command that was run in that process
listing, and it was:
 
ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd

Good catch!

Hello guys,

im having some problems to monitor processes with a long output (most of
them are java processes). Hobbit seems to cut the output at certain size
and i have to look for a string which appears at the end of the output.

where can i change this length limit?

 


I had the same problem, also with java processes.

 

Assuming you are using Linux, look in the
~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh, look for the line

echo "[ps]"

 

Change the 'ps ' command which follows according to your systems
requirements.

For example, under SLES, I had to add 'ww' and changee it to:

ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd
