Monitor a specific process if it gets hung on linux

[youngek]

Is there a way to monitor a specific process on a linux box if it gets hung? I'm monitoring total processes but, I did not see a way to drill down to a specific one? I am sure I am missing something.

I'm pretty sure there are multiple ways to do this, but this is the first I found: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... sh/details

Please let us know if you run into any trouble.

you probably want to check more at an application level. perhaps with synthetic user testing such as selenium, or checking ports / traffic that should otherwise respond to a user.

If you did want to go the Selenium route, we have a bit of a tutorial, that should help: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Are you looking for a specific process? There might be something on exchange specifically designed for it.
