Is there an easy way to get metrics on all processes that start with the letters XYZ? I have about 80 processes that I have to monitor individually that all start with the prefix XYZ.
I have created a
query using the sigar shell: ps State.Name.sw=XYZ, which will give me a list of the processes that I want. What I need to do is define this list of processes through said
query and collect and track statistics from the Process service: http://support.hyperic.com/display/hypcomm/Process+service
What I need is 3 or 4 key statistics for each of the XYZ processes defined by my
query to show up as graphs in the web front end.
Note: Hyperic HQ server is installed on a windows machine and I'm monitoring a Linux box via an agent.
Thanks,
Chris
Edit: Here is my try at a plugin that may give me what I want, but it's not being inventoried/detected by the Hyperic web UI. Simply pointing me to one of Hyperic's tutorials won't do. Thanks.
