I track and graph Oracle DB connections and connections to our Oracle forms server not via processes but by port connections. This is easily done under the ports test, without any changes to code. In your hobbit-clients.cfg file, add a PORT rule which defines the port used to make the connection and a TRACK option.

Sort of similar to Jerald's idea, but it'll get you the graphs easier. :)
On your db server, go into the client's etc directory and modify the hobbitclient.cfg.
changing PS="ps ax" to PS="ps ax | $GREP oracle"
Caveat: This will restrict you to *JUST* monitoring processes for oracle, nothing else on the server in question.

How about write a custom script that is green when your ps -ef |grep <procname> has the appropriate user, yellow if say, 1 or two is owned by someone else, and maybe red if 5 or more?
You could also do no middle ground, too. Green or red.
Fairly trivial, but it would not be monitored as a PROC, it would be a custom check.

Hi,
I am new to this mailing list so apologies if I am breaking any protocol by sending this mail out to this address - I have searched the faqs and can find no answer.
What I am trying to do is to monitor processes by the owner.
In hobbit-clients.cfg I can specify a string to search for in the process name but I can find no way to look in the USER column.
If I could, then I could get a count of processes owned by oracle and graph it out.
Is this possible?
Many thanks
Josie
