3.20 Host_ProcessUp

Use this Knowledge Script to access the Host Resource MIB to verify whether a specified process is running. This script raises an event if a specified process is running and generates datastreams for process status.

3.20.1 Resource Object

NetworkDevice Host Processor Folder

3.20.2 Default Schedule

By default, this script runs every 5 minutes.

3.20.3 Setting Parameter Values

Set the following parameters as needed.

Parameter	How to Set It
General Settings
Job Failure Notification
Event severity when job fails	Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the failure of the Host_ProcessUp job. The default is 5.
Event severity when job returns warnings	Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the job completes with warnings. The default is 25.
Event severity when monitoring fails	Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event that is raised when monitoring fails. The default is 25.
SNMP Settings
SNMP timeout	Specify the length of time in milliseconds that the job should wait for the SNMP response from the monitored network device before timing out and raising a failure event. The default is 2000 milliseconds.
SNMP retries	Specify the number of times the job should attempt to get the SNMP response from the monitored network device. The default is 1 attempt.
Enable use of SNMP GETBulk operations?	Select Yes to enable SNMP GETBulk operations. GETBulk operation requests a number of GETNEXT responses to be returned in a single packet than issuing multiple GETNEXT operations. The GETBulk operation uses less bandwidth and optimizes the agent in retrieving the data from MIB instrumentation. The default is unselected.
Number of row to request for each GETBulk operation	Specify the number of rows that should be retrieved for each GETBulk operation. You can specify a maximum of 200 rows. The default is 10.
Raise event if process is running?	Select Yes to raise an event if a specified process is running. The default is Yes.
Collect data for process status?	Select Yes to collect data for charts and reports. If enabled, data collection returns a value of 100 when a specified process is running, or a value of 0 when the process is not running. The default is No.
Processes to monitor	Specify one or more process names, separated by commas and no spaces. For example: grep.exe,batch.exe NOTE:If the device being monitored is running on Microsoft Windows, the process name specified should match the Image Name seen on the Process tab in Task Manager.
Event severity when process is running	Set the severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the specified processes are running. The default is 10.
Raise one-time events?	Select Yes to raise an event for all one-time events. If you set this parameter to Yes, then AppManager raises an event when a particular performance counter cannot be found in an iteration. For example, if this script does not find a particular performance counter in the first iteration, AppManager raises an event on the first iteration and does not raise further events for consecutive failures. This script raises further one-time events only on the iteration when there are failure events following successful retrieval of the performance counters. If you do not want to see such one-time events, set this parameter to No.
