with STATE = RSZDT

Code: Select all

[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ ./check_procs -s RSZDT
PROCS OK: 313 processes with STATE = RSZDT | procs=313;;;0;
[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ ps -ef | wc -l
399
[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ ./check_procs
PROCS OK: 396 processes | procs=396;;;0;

There is a filter on your command.

Hello,

How do I configure the command so it will show all processes?

define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Total Processes
check_command check_local_procs!250!400
}

I removed -s and it won't work anymore in Nagios:

Current Status: UNKNOWN (for 0d 0h 5m 9s)
Status Information: Usage:
check_procs -w <range> -c <range> [-m metric] [-s state] [-p ppid]
[-u user] [-r rss] [-z vsz] [-P %cpu] [-a argument-array]
[-C command] [-k] [-t timeout] [-v]


I just want to see all processes with warning at 250 and critical at 400

Thanks,

[jdalrymple]

Where did you remove the -s?

Can you show us your current command definition for check_procs? It's probably in your commands.cfg file.
