Determining CPU processes using Nagios

Post by RIDS_I2MP »

Hi Team,

We want to know whether Nagios can determine the processes which are using maximum memory and CPU in remote hosts.
We tried to find it using task manager but it was of no help.
Thanks & Regards,
I2MP Team.

Hello, @RIDS_I2MP. What system is installed on the remote hosts? Is it Linux or Windows. If Linux you could use a plugin like this one:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ed/details
You'd specify thresholds for CPU and RAM in % and this plugin will show only processes that consume resources above the thresholds.
If you're using windows, let me know what kind of agent you're using. Is it NSClinet, NCPA, ect? Do you want to do active checks or receive passive results?

PS: You can find most of the plugins that we have on Nagios Exchange: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... /Processes
