Dears
We have a linux server, and Server admin request that the result of the ps command must be as shown below:
ps -ef |grep HLR_SH | grep -v "grep HLR_SH" | grep -v "HLR_SH.ini"
the expected result is :
eppix 30392 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH1.ini
eppix 30393 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH2.ini
eppix 30394 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH3.ini
eppix 30395 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH4.ini
eppix 30396 1 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH5.ini
If one of the above processes is missing we need to receive a notification (MaP is missing )
what is the best practice to achieve it ?

I would write a plugin that grabs the output and does a line count on it. Plugins follow a pretty simple set of requirements:

They can be written in just about any language. Once you have that built, look into something like NRPE to run it on a remote machine:

You should be able to do it with this command:
Code: Select all
./check_snmp_process.pl -H 192.168.4.124 -C public -n "/MaP/bin/ericsson_cai_telnet_sh /MaP/config/HLR_SH[0-9].ini" -w 4 -c 4 -A "/MaP/config/HLR_SH[0-9].ini"

What version of check_snmp_process.pl are you using?
Also, you might need to put quotes around your snmp community because of the - in it.

Please check your support ticket, I have given you an answer this way.
FYI the -A argument is not in the v1.4 of the plugin, please download the latest version:
