Yes, the process is running

oracle 4604 1 0 02:50:20 ? 0:02 ora_pmon_sinamp
nagios 5276 5255 0 09:16:50 pts/1 0:00 grep ora_pmon_sinamp

Just to clarify...

When you run: it shows you that the process is running, right?

But when you run: it shows you:

0 processes with command name 'ora_pmon_sinamp'

Is this correct?

When I executed:

./check_procs -C ora_pmon_sinamp

The output is:

PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'ora_pmon_sinamp'

and the process is ruuning

What happens, when you run a check against other processes, for example:
or
It is very strange why this process is "not seen", even though it is running... Does "ps" see it? Try again:
and post the output.

This is the output:

$ ./check_procs -C httpd
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'httpd'

$ ps -ef|grep httpd

You can create a file named /etc/sysconfig/nagios
and add the line This should add the environment before the plugin runs.

Hi,

Thank you for the information, the path /etc/sysconfig/nagios, not exist in my machine that I want monitoring:


nagios@sinampro$ ls -ltr sys*
lr--r--r-- 1 bin bin 19 Jul 18 2008 syslog.pid -> /var/run/syslog.pid
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 17 Jul 18 2008 syslogd -> /usr/sbin/syslogd
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin sys 16 Jul 18 2008 sysdef -> /usr/sbin/sysdef
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 249 Jul 3 2009 syslog.conf

The machine, where I want monitoring process is HP-UX sinampro B.11.31 U ia64 1219818353 unlimited-user license

Regards

I forgot we were running this command via nrpe.

On the remote machine lets do the following This should set the UNIX95=1 env for the nagios user which should be what the nrpe on the remote machine runs as.

Hello,


su nagios
export UNIX95=1
su -

I executed env, and variable appear, but if I executed:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -C ora_pmon_sinamp
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'ora_pmon_sinamp'

This failed.

Are you running this from root, or from the nagios user?
