Monitoring CPU utilized by any process

Post by RIDS_I2MP »

Hi Team,

We are monitoring OS parameters on our windows servers using NSClient++.

Now we want to monitor CPU utilized by each process of a host, Kindly let us know how can we achieve it.
Thanks & Regards,
I2MP Team.

I addressed this back in 2013 actually:

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=22136

But basically this isn't going to be feasible for each and every process on a server, since Nagios needs to have a service defined per process and if one comes up for which Nagios does not have a service, there is no way to check against it. Some processes might only exist for a few seconds, so it would be almost impossible to catch those.
