Hi,

In one of production server, one particular service consuming more memory and crashing application.

We would like to monitor the memory usage of particular service and alert if memory reaches beyond 1200MB.

Kindly advice if any plugin or command available to monitor this ?

Looks like this can be done using NSClient++ with check_process

Here's a related forum thread that should answer your question.

Hi,

I am able to get the output, but the current output displaying with working set (32.125MB), but I would like to display the memory with Private Working Set (memory showing in task manager 11MB).

[nagios@s930XXXXX ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -u -H XXXXX -t 120 -c Check_Process -a process=nscp.exe "detail-syntax=%(exe) ws:%(working_set), handles: %(handles), user time:%(user)s" "top-syntax=%(status): %(problem_list)" "warn=working_set > 5M" "crit=working_set > 10M"
CRITICAL: nscp.exe ws:33685504, handles: 449, user time:22s|'nscp.exe ws_size'=32.125MB;5;10
[nagios@s930XXXXX ~]$

Kindly let me know if it is possible to check against private working set ?

@bsivavani, You may need to use a custom plugin for that or find one on the Nagios Exchange. Here are two plugins that I've found so far, but there are probably more.

Thanks for your help. We are able to monitor process memory using plugin memused_process.ps1.

Glad to hear it! Are we alright to close this up then?

Please close this request.

Sounds good! I'll be closing this thread!

If you have any more questions, feel free to create another thread.
