The CHECK_PROCS plugin

Checks system processes and does check against metrics. Default metrics is number of processes.

Supported parameters are :

• --metric/-m [METRIC]: Metric type. Valid values are: PROCS - number of processes; VSZ - virtual memory size (unix only); RSS - resident set memory size (unix only); MEM - memory usage in KB (Windows only); CPU - CPU percentage; ELAPSED - elapsed time in seconds (unix only)
• --warning/-w [THRESHOLD]: warning threshold pair.
• --critical/-c [THRESHOLD]: Critical value if metric is out of range.
• --argument-array/-a [STRING]: Only scan for processes with args that contain STRING (unix only). Use instead of ereg-argument-array.
• --ereg-argument-array [STRING]: Only scan for processes with args that contain the regex (unix only). Use instead of ereg-argument-array.
• --command/-C [STRING]: Only scan for exact matches of COMMAND (without path).
• --ppid/-p [PPID]: Only scan for children of the parent process ID indicated (unix only).
• --vsz/-v [VSZ]: Only scan for processes with VSZ (Virtual Memory Size)s higher than indicated (unix only).
• --rss/-r [RSS]: Only scan for processes with RSS (Resident Set Size) higher than indicated (unix only).
• --memory/-M [MEMORY]: Only scan for Windows processes with memory usage higher than indicated (Windows only).
