memory monitoring using a txt/csv file

[advanm]

Hi,

I want to monitor the memory usage for a specific service.
I can output the mem usage of that process to a txt/csv file using takslist
[tasklist /fi 'imagename eq imagename]

the output ot the text file looks like this
Image Name PID Session Name Session# Mem Usage
========================= =====================
SomeserviceHost.exe 2368 Services 0 267,484 K

How can i creat a trigger to read this memory usage using the zabbix agent?
PS we are using zabbix 1.8

You want to trigger to the specific value ? Try to parse it to get the correct value in Numeric format and send it using zabbix_sender utility.

Hi,

thanks voor your reply but how can i parse this text to get only the memory value left?

I'm not a Windows/Powershell guru, but in Linux you can perform this with tools like grep, head, awk Try to search for something similar so you just push the vlaue like 412412 to Zabbix

Hello advanm,

You need to use the Zabbix Sender utility and the Zabbix Trapper. You need to have a script which will cut everything off and will ask zabbix_sender to send the numerical value to server.

zabbix_sender -z <server> -s <host> -k memusage -o $VALUE
