monitor processes linux in zabbix

[davide8000]

Hi,
i'm new on Zabbix. I'm setting up the monitoring service for my company. Now i have to monitor the status of some processes on linux like postgres,apache,mysql ecc..i need to check the status and if a process stop working i need to receive an alert. I searched on google but i haven't find the solution yet. On my linux servers the agent is installed and configured.
Can someone help me to do it.

Thanks

There are some services that Zabbix has pre-setted, like MySQL and some Others. To monitor processes in general I use userParams in zabbix agent and search for the service with ps aux | [g]rep process_name | wc -l. Use its return to count how many processes are running.

You can also use Zabbix native keys for proc num.
