Distribution: official part of Check_MK

Supported Agents: Linux

Monitor the number of processes and threads. If too many processes and threads are found then the check results in a warning or critical state. The default levels are set to 2000 and 4000.

On variable: the current number of threads and processes found on the system.

A check of this type is created automatically on each Linux host. The check parameter is set to threads_default_levels. If you need individual levels for your hosts, please define this check explicitely in checks.

checks += [
   # set levels to 500 / 1000 on all hosts with tag "sap"
   ( ["sap"], ALL_HOSTS, "cpu.threads", None, (500, 1000) ),
   # Exception for one specific host
   ( "megahost", "cpu.threads", None, (5000, 8000) ),
