Monitoring whether a process is running using result of a folder discover rule

[stu]

Hi

I would like to monitor whether a process is running where I get the process name from a text file.

I have a bash command

/usr/bin/find /home/user/*/current/config -name "sidekiq.yml"|awk -F"/" '{print $4}' that gives me


app1
app2
app3
app4


There will be processes running which will be named app1, app2, app3 etc

Zabbix will then alert if a process has failed.

Is this possible?


I have other proc.num commands, but have always hard coded the process name.

you will have to create a script for checking that
or check this :

Thanks

I've now configured the following script

#!/bin/bash
files=$(/usr/bin/find /home/<user>/*/current/config -name "sidekiq.yml"|awk -F"/" '{print $4}')
processes=$(ps -e -o command|grep [s]idekiq|awk '{ print $3 }')
diff <(echo "$files" ) <(echo "$processes")|grep "<" > /tmp/sidekiq.txt

I then use zabbix to alert if the file exists, but is there any way I can include the contents of the file if it does in the alert?

what do you mean if it doesn't alert ?
how did you config your trigger and what do you want it to show ?

I've configured a trigger using the following

{Template App Sidekiq service:vfs.file.exists[/tmp/sidekiq.txt].last()}=1

which generates an alert when the file exists, but how can I get the contents of the file that exists in the alert.

your item olny check if file exsist if you want the contact of the file
then make the script do it somthing like

VAR=$(cat /the/file/you/want.txt)
if [[ -n $VAR]]; then
   echo $VAR
else
echo 1
fi

and then the item value will be $var which is the context of the file and
in the trigger you should put
alert! {ITEM.LASTVALUE}

and it will show you this on the dash board
or if it is a file with a big context and you want it only on the email then
in the action message include the {ITEM.LASTVALUE} and not on the trigger.
