Total Processes

More information about thresholds for number of processes

The Total Processes service checks all processes and generates WARNING or CRITICAL states if the number of processes is outside the defined threshold ranges. Checks the processes that have, in the output of ps, one or more of the following status flags: RSZDT.

Default Thresholds

NodeStatusThresholds
ALLWarning1000000
Critical1000000
Note: The value 1000000 refers to infinity. It is essentially an unreachable threshold to prevent warning and critical states from occurring. This service provides useful metrics for statistics.

Metrics: Total number of processes in RSZDT.
