Unable to monitor simple process
I am trying to better understand how Zabbix determines what processes are running. I have a couple of processes that zabbix is continually telling me that they are not running when in fact they are, but I can't seem to figure out how to tweak the Item/Trigger to get them to report correctly. Can someone point me to some doc or discussion where I can get this figured out. Even the default "Number of running processes apache" out of the box doesn't seem to work, even though a simple "ps -ef|grep httpd" shows that it is.

I have figured this out.
Turns out that the file I was trying to monitor was kind of funky. The process I was monitoring actually used python to start up the process, therefor the process name I needed to use was /the/path/to/python26 and I also added a command line option to ensure it found the right process. It is now working like a charm.
