Monitor linux process age
Monitor linux process age
As the title of this post suggests, I want to monitor a specific process, and if it is running, make sure it hasn't been running over a certain amount of time. If it is running and has been for too long I want a critical message. Then I'll kick off an event handler to kill the process. Does anyone know of a check that can do what I want?

There are a number of similar plugins on the exchange:

If you are looking to roll your own, stackoverflow had a bunch of different options to check for process time in the following post:

Thanks abrist. Looks like I was posting my reply as you were posting yours.
Using check_proc_age.sh check instead. Now to modify it to use it as the event handler as well
Thanks for the links anyway!

Re: Monitor linux process age
Great! Let us know how this works out for you, it may be something we could document and add along side the basic service check documentation!
