Nagios check to monitor individual process memory,cpu

Hi Team,
We had a requirement that we need to monitor each and every single process in windows server and also at the same time need to monitor the memory used by that individual process and also CPU usage used by that process.
Is there any plugin that does this thing?
Please help me in this..
Regards,
Madhu

Every process? That seems pretty unrealistic. In XI you would need a separate service for each process. But then what if another process kicks off? Nagios would not know about it. There are too many moving parts and too much entropy for this to be remotely feasible.

Hi tmcdonald,
Sorry.. i mean not each and every process.
Let say for example.. we would like to monitor some .exe process and for the same .exe process we would like to monitor the memory used by this .exe and at the same time would like to monitor CPU usage by that .exe process. It makes sense?
Correct me if I am wrong...
Regards,
Madhu

Yes this should be reasonably possible via several ways. NSclient process checks, NCPA process checks, performance monitor counters, or running an additional script. Do you have an agent installed on this machine already, or a preference of how you want to monitor it?

Yes we had NSclient installed on Windows machine and we are monitoring the windows machine by nagios.
Please advice me on this..

Have you tried using the windows server wizard to add processes that you would like to monitor? It should contain the checks and settings you wish to use already!

Yes.. I can monitor the process using this wizard.
But I need the memory usage of example.exe process.. how would I do that? Please help..

You can do this using performance counters with nsclient.
For example:
Code: Select all
CheckCounter "Counter:javamemusage=\Process(java)\Private bytes" ShowAll
Or:
Code: Select all
CheckCounter "Counter:explorermemusage=\Process(explorer)\Private bytes" ShowAll

In my case I would require to monitor D9AXAiServ.exe
CheckCounter "Counter:D9AXAiServmemusage=\Process(D9AXAiServ)\Private bytes" ShowAll
is the above syntax correct?

/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -n -H hostname -p 5666 -c CheckCounter -a "Counter:javamemusage=\Process(java)\Private bytes" ShowAll
Could not construct return packet in NRPE handler check client side (nsclient.log) logs...
