How to monitor 32bit windows processes on 64bit server

[morrolan]

Hi All,

I'm trying to monitor a lot of 32 bit windows processes running on 64 bit servers.

I know how to monitor processes (how to check if iTunes.exe is running etc), however the last value I get is always 0, when I can see the process running?

I'm using Zabbix 2.0.8 built from source.

The process Image Name (on Windows Server 2003 SP2 64bit) is 'ERG.AmsProcessor.exe *32', but I don't know if I need to include the *32 or not in my Item?

I've tried using both the 64bit and 32bit agents respectively. My item is configured as:

proc.num[ERG.AmsProcessor.exe *32]

However, when I go to latest data, it has the current date and time, but the Last Value is still 0?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Morrolan

Did you ever get resolution on this?

I doubt that it appends *32 to the found processes.

What does "tasklist" say on your windows box?
I would suggest to check for that name within your zabbix item.

Yes I got a resolution to this. You must use the 64bit agent to monitor 32bit processes and you do not have to append *32 to the task list, simply proc.num[mspaint.exe] in your key is fine.

Good deal, thanks.
