Monitor Linux Services

[miramira007]

Hi together,

i'm looking for a solution to monitor linux/unix machines. Can you tell me, how you are monitoring services in linux/unix machines? I want to monitor them like in windows with service_state[name].

I tried this here:

I added
"UserParameter=services.check[*], /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/systemctl status $1 | /usr/bin/grep -c running" and
"UserParameter=systemctl.check[*], /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/systemctl status $1 | /usr/bin/grep -c running"

But i cant handle the whole linux/unix environment with this commands. From some hosts i'm getting error messages "grep no such file or directory" or i'm getting a wrong value.

I would be pleased if you tell me, how you monitor your services?

cu, mira

Probably, you need to use any SCM system (ansible/chef/puppet/salt/etc.) to ensure that grep is installed and correct mechanism is used (systemctl on systemd-supported flavours, service on rhel-based etc.)

Ok, thank, and how do you monitor processes, which has not a dependencies to a pid. I understand that grep is searching for the pid.
