proc.num syntax help

[brad9iner]

I have some application specific processes that I am needing to monitor to make sure that they are running.

Here are the processes:
16:36:32 # ps -ef | grep sentinel
root 2172 1 0 2012 ? 00:00:01 /usr/cerneresm/sentinel/sentinelserver START
root 2176 2172 0 2012 ? 05:47:21 /usr/cerneresm/sentinel/sentinelserver JMX PrimaryServer -cfg /usr/cerneresm/sentinel/sentinel.config
root 5860 5805 0 16:36 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sentinel

currently I have items in my template setup with the following keys:
proc.num[sentinelserver START]
proc.num[sentinelserver JMX]

Which I do not think are working because they are returning a '0'. I could monitor both processes at the same time by making the key:
proc.num[sentinelserver]

But I am needing to have the processes monitored seperately. So my question is how can I use the proc.num key to use 2 words as the syntax of the command line?

Thanks in advance for any help that is given.

Try to use this syntax, I had the same issue:

proc.num[,,,sentinelserver START]
proc.num[,,,sentinelserver JMX]

Then you will use the cmdline option from the proc.num command

Original Syntax: proc.num[<name>,<user>,<state>,<cmdline>]

Thank you for the info. That is similar to what I ended up doing.
I realized that the command lines are identical up until the JMX and the START. So what I went ahead and did was use the 3 commas option but only used 1 word.
For example:
proc.num[,,,START]
proc.num[,,,JMX]

worked perfectly. Thank you very much for the help on that

Hi,

even i want to monitor docker and mysql services on my agents and trying to use the proc_num key. it is not fetching any data. can u pls tell what am i missing here.

proc.num[docker,run]

i want to monitor if docker and mysql services are running or not. If not, then i want to create a action or trigger to get notified.
