ps.perf

License: GPL

Distribution: official part of Check_MK

Supported Agents: Linux

This check does exactly the same as ps, but in addition outputs performance data. Please refer to the manpage of ps for more details.

Check parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
params	5 or 6 tuple	Please refer to ps for information about the parameters.

Performance data

In all cases the number of matching running processes found on the target system is sent. If the agent supports it, also the virtual prozess size (VSZ) and the resident size (RSS) in kB is send as well as the percentage of CPU used by the matching processes.

If more than one process is matching, the values are added. The actual memory usage of all processes together might be significantly smaller than the computed size since they might (and most propably do) share memory.

Inventory

ps.perf supports inventory in exactly the same way as ps, just that the variable inventory_processes_perf is used instead of inventory_processes.

Configuration variables

Variable	Type	Description
inventory_processes_perf	list	A list of 7-tuples. See ps for details.
