Specific process

Kris · Post by **Kris** » Fri May 09, 2014 7:41 am

Hiya all,

We have a process that tends to hang every now and then.
Would it be possible to do the following:

a) test if this specific process (MyProcess.exe) is running on a remote computer
b) If yes, check every 1 minute if cpu and memory usage have changed
c) If cpu and memory usage haven't changed 3 consecutive tests, it's a BAD...

Thanks!
Kris

If you need to check CPU and Memory usage, you need 2 test items.
Then you may use "Optional status processing" options to set Warning status when '%SuggestedReply%'=='%Reply%' and start action after 3rd consecutive bad (warning) result.

Another (more complicated) option - create script that will check all parameters and use Shell Script test method...

Alex

Hi Alex,

I solved it by creating a WMI test for the specific executable in Win32Process.
It checks the 'OtherOperationCount' value, which has to increase significantly on a per-minute check.
If the process exists and the 'OtherOperationCount' is stuck I call it a BAD after 5 consecutive checks...

If this counter works for your application, that's great
