HP-UX and TUX

[zab_monkey]

Hi All,

I am trying to monitor Tuxedo services on a HP-UX (11.31) Server. I figured the 'proc.num' key would be my best bet, but sadly all I am getting so far are unsupported messages.

I can see the default template is using 'proc.num' for things like sshd, eg; proc.num[sshd]

And they work fine. I am wondering if there is a distinction between zabbix looking for a system service like sshd and looking for another service, like a tux service/handler?

The Tux service, for arguments sake, is called CSS01. If I do a standard "ps -ef | grep CSS01" I see it clear as day, but zabbix doesnt for some reason. Its using the latest agent version (1.8.3) and the same for the server version (1.8.3).

I note some posts in my search talk about the lack of support for proc.num in previous versions, however I wasnt sure if that still persisted into the new versions.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction here?

cheers,

JC

Sorry, I should mention what my key looked like:

proc.num[CSS01]

Simple, but figured I would just put that in just in case.

Well this may be a case of RTFM. The Manual indicates that proc.num is still not supported in HP-UX under 1.8.3.

http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...config/items?s[]=proc&s[]=num

Thats a blow.

Oddly, it is being used by sshd and httpd and a couple of others in the default HP-UX template, and they work, but maybe they are being specifically defined somehow?.... meh

Unless someone is able to correct this view that it remains unsupported, I suppose I will have to find another way of doing it.

Cheers all,

JC
