Monitoring PS Command Result

We have a linux server, and Server admin request that the result of the ps command must be as shown below:

ps -ef |grep HLR_SH | grep -v "grep HLR_SH" | grep -v "HLR_SH.ini"

the expected result is :

eppix 30392 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH1.ini
eppix 30393 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH2.ini
eppix 30394 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH3.ini
eppix 30395 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH4.ini
eppix 30396 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH5.ini

If one of the above processes is missing we need to receive a notification (MaP is missing )

what is the best practice to achieve it ?

I would write a plugin that grabs the output and does a line count on it. Plugins follow a pretty simple set of requirements:

They can be written in just about any language. Once you have that built, look into something like NRPE to run it on a remote machine:

IF I want to monitor it as process what process name I must use ? as I use all possible but not work


eppix 30392 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH1.ini

what condition must be in process to be monitored by check_snmp_process ?

You should be able to do it with this command:

Code: Select all

./check_snmp_process.pl -H 192.168.4.124 -C public -n "/MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH[0-9].ini" -w 4 -c 4 -A "/MaP/config/HLR_SH[0-9].ini"

Hi,

Thank you for reply; that's exactly what we want. How to monitor it using check_snmp_process commands .

I tried the command but not work.


[root@nms libexec]# ./check_snmp_process.pl -H 10.100.1.94 -C jawwal-snmp -n "/MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH[0-9].ini" -w 0 -c 0 -A "/MaP/config/HLR_SH[0-9].ini"
Unknown option: A

What version of check_snmp_process.pl are you using?

Code: Select all

./check_snmp_process.pl -V

Also, you might need to put quotes around your snmp community because of the - in it.

check_snmp_process version : 1.4

Please check your support ticket, I have given you an answer this way.

FYI the -A argument is not in the v1.4 of the plugin, please download the latest version:
