Process Monitor Plugin
Process Monitoring
HQ provides a Process service which can collect memory, cpu and other metrics common to all platforms. The metrics are collected using SIGAR with PTQL to identify the process. Process metrics can be used within other plugins, provided the plugin (or user) is able to identify the process using PTQL. The common set of process metrics is in the pdk/plugins/process-metrics.xml file which can be included by the xml plugin descriptor:
<!DOCTYPE plugin [ <!ENTITY process-metrics SYSTEM "/pdk/plugins/process-metrics.xml"> ]> <plugin> ... <server name="Sendmail"> <config> <option name="process.query" description="Process Query" default="State.Name.eq=sendmail"/> </config> ... &process-metrics; ... </server> </plugin>
Or select metrics can be copy-and-pasted from pdk/plugins/process-metrics.xml into a plugin descriptor.
