NCPA Plugin process filtering

[nagiosEngie]

Hello Nagios Crew,
I am having some issues in finding a way to monitor jboss processes.

My process name is /bin/sh /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh -c <someting> -b 0.0.0.0

The only command I am having success with is:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H 192.168.144.118 -t 'token123' -P 5693 -M 'processes' -q 'name=run.sh' -c1:

I have not found a way to tie the run.sh to the >someting> string.

I tied:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H 192.168.144.118 -t 'token123' -P 5693 -M 'processes' -q 'name=run.sh,combiner=and,match=<something>,check=true' -c1:
But it appears to just get the process run.sh ignoring the rest.

Can you give me any sugetions on how to do this and if there is a reference with examples?

Thankyou
Sandro

The syntax looks correct. What is the version of the NCPA agent that you are currently using?

Can you give us an example of the "something string"? Any special characters in it?

Also, can you show us what you see in the web UI (API) when you use the "name=run.sh" search only?

Hi I resolved the mater using the "cmd" string:

-P 5693 -M 'processes' -q 'cmd=/bin/sh /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh -c <someting> -b 192.168.144.88' -c1:

You must insert the exact string user for starting the process.

Thanks
