Hi John

HOST=foo PROC /usr/bin/mysql 1 -1 red

No = in the PROC line.

From the top comments in analysis.cfg

*PROC processname minimumcount maximumcount color [TRACK=id] [TEXT=displaytext]*# The "ps" listing sent by the client will be scanned for how many

processes containing "processname" are running, and this is

then

matched against the min/max settings defined here. If the

running

count is outside the thresholds, the color of the "procs"

status

changes to "color".

To check for a process that must NOT be running: Set minimum

and

maximum to 0.

"processname" can be a simple string, in which case this

string must

show up in the "ps" listing as a command. The scanner will

find

a ps-listing of e.g. "/usr/sbin/cron" if you only specify

"processname"

as "cron".

"processname" can also be a Perl-compatiable regular

expression, e.g.

"%java.*inst[0123]" can be used to find entries in the

ps-listing for

"java -Xmx512m inst2" and "java -Xmx256 inst3". In that case,

"processname" must begin with "%" followed by the

reg.expression.

If "processname" contains whitespace (blanks or TAB), you

must enclose

the full string in double quotes - including the "%" if you

use regular

expression matching. E.g.

PROC "%hobbitd_channel --channel=data.*hobbitd_rrd" 1 1

yellow

or

PROC "java -DCLASSPATH=/opt/java/lib" 2 5

All,

I’ve just installed Xyon onto CentOS 7 (x86_64). As usual, it’s working like a charm, except..

HOST= lines in analysis.cfg are not being evaluated. An example:

HOST=server.mydomain.com

            PROC=mysql

The server is defined in hosts.cfg and MariaDB is running on the server, but the procs remain clear saying “No process checks defined”

Anyone got any insight?

TIA.
