Hi !

Unfortunatley i didn't found a solution for my problem except these threads, which are not really a soluton :-(

http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2008-February/017554.html http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2013-July/037868.html

The question is, if anybody has a idea, how i can monitor the runtime for certain processes, preferably with his pid ?

My real problem is, that my backup-system runs at beginning of the months maybe more than 2 days ... but in the normal way it's runs 2-4 hours ...

So, i want to have a yellow alert after 24 hours and a red alert after 48 hours .. is this possible ?

Thanks & Cheers

    Martin

Does your backup process write its PID to a file while it's active? Or can you script it to do so?

Then you can alert on the age of the dile.

What platform are you on?

On Linux you can do ps -p<pid> -oetime or ps -C<backupname> -oetime

You just need an external script to report green if it's not found. If it's been going over 24 hours then the format is D-HH:MM:SS so you just need to check for the dash then check the number of days.

Thanks, Jeremy & Carl for the hints !

That's will be the way (external process- or logfile/pidfile-monitorscript)

Anyway, i thought there is eventually a built-in function for this ;-)

thanks & cheers
