Monitoring a Java Process

[Umair]

Hello All,
Untill now i have been using the templates for monitoring different processes.
Now, I want to monitor a Java Process on a Unix Machine.
This process is part of my application.
Infact i want to monitor different processes of that application.
If any of the process fails, the coresponding alarm should be raised.

I can't seem to understand the logic of Items/Triggers to apply to the processes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Think you can use the following key
proc.num[<name>,<user>,<state>]
State can be [all, sleep,zomb,run]

an example of returning the number of zabbix_agentd processes regardless of state would be

proc.num[zabbix_agentd,,all]

or if you wanted the dead processes

proc.num[zabbix_agentd,,zomb]

Then set up triggers based on the value returned.

Hope this helps
