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
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.

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.

I'm new to the list myself but why are you monitoring oracle processes? Won't it be more straight forward to query v$session for the corresponding processes? I'm playing around with dbcheck (within http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/) and it does that. I "believe" it can generate a graph showing the spikes in # of oracle sessions. If it doesn't, you should be able to write a shell script listing all the oracle jobs, count and then graph it.
Right now, I'm pulling hairs out of my head trying to adapt dbcheck to my environment. ;0
