Target

Typical platform: Any Linux system

Operating system: Linux

Prerequisites

Leverages: Linux ps command

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

Variables:

• matchCommand: Regular expression pattern to match process command lines for monitoring. (default: .*)
• matchName: Regular expression pattern to match process names for monitoring. (default: .*)
• matchUser: Regular expression pattern to match process users for inclusion. (default: .*)

Examples

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +LinuxProcess --ssh -u USER

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: linux
        connectors: [ +LinuxProcess ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
        variables:
          matchCommand: <VALUE> # Replace with desired value.
          matchName: <VALUE> # Replace with desired value.
          matchUser: <VALUE> # Replace with desired value.

Connector Activation Criteria

The Linux - Processes (ps) connector must be selected manually, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /usr/bin/which ps || /bin/which ps
  • Output contains: /bin/ps (regex)
