Using proc.num to monitor Linux system process

[lmnti33s]

I'm trying to use proc.num to monitor a system process, which is enclosed in brackets.
Example, ps -ef | grep ipvs returns the following
root 5581 2 0 Oct08 ? 00:33:18 [ipvs_syncmaster]

My key looks like proc.num[,root,,ipvs] but zabbix returns 0. In fact, it seems to return 0 for any process enclosed in brackets.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Just give a try to the following key:

proc.num[,root,,"[ipvs_syncmaster]"]

Does it return any result other than 0? Also you can try to remove the user from item key and go with the name only.

Best Regards,
