Monitoring CPU usage of Apache

[carlos.pereira]

Hello!
I'm a beginner to Zabbix. Also, I'm learning English, so... I can make mistakes sometimes.

I was able to configure Zabbix for monitoring the Apache's status (wheter it's online or not). But I need now that the Zabbix monitors the CPU usage of only the Apache's process (or service) of a Linux server.
Is there some way of do it?

Hello!

Is there some way of do it?

Hi,

Yes, you can use this parameters:

• proc.num - can monitor the number of processes, based on process name, user, parameters etc
• proc.mem - can monitor process memory usage (single process or a group of them)
• proc.cpu.util - can monitor process CPU utilisation (single process or a group of them)

Full information about parameters and options: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...s/zabbix_agent

For I to define a default parameter, is it enough that I put like this: "proc.cpu.util[apache,<user>,<type>,<cmdline>,<mode>,<zone>]" or must I put the others parameters empty?

proc.cpu.util][apache] should be good, I think you must remove the ones in <..> or you will get errors, but you can omit trailing commas. proc.cpu.util[,root] would get CPU for all root processes. (Not useful, just an example of the place holder comma)

I put like this: "proc.cpu.util[apache]" but it give me the message: "Unsupported item key" and it don't work. What can it be?

Hi,

Run this command on the server with apache:

sudo -H -u zabbix -s /path/to/your/bash -c 'ps aux|grep -i apache'

I did it and this command showed me all the services with apache that are running.

Please, show me the exact output from this command.

Ok. The image is attached.

Please try to use "proc.cpu.util[httpd]".

When I put "proc.cpu.util[httpd]" the zabbix show me this message: "Unsupported item key".
