HP-UX Process Monitoring

You can configure MetricsHub to monitor an HP-UX process. In the example below, we configured MetricsHub to monitor the snmpdm process running on the hpux-prod resource using SSH.

Procedure​

To achieve this use case, we:

  • Declare the resource to be monitored (hpux-prod) and its attributes (host.name, host.type)

    resources:
      hpux-prod:
        attributes:
          host.name: hpux-prod
          host.type: hpux

  • Configure the SSH protocol with credentials and timeout

        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: USERNAME
            password: PASSWORD
            timeout: 30

  • Add a new instance of the HPUXProcess connector for the monitoring of snmpdm. Name this new instance snmpdmProcess, for example:

        additionalConnectors:
          snmpdmProcess:
            uses: HPUXProcess

  • Set the variable matchName for the service to be monitored (snmpdm):

            variables:
              matchName: snmpdm

Here is the complete YAML configuration:

resources:
  hpux-prod:
    attributes:
      host.name: hpux-prod
      host.type: hpux
    protocols:
      ssh:
        username: USERNAME
        password: USERNAME
        timeout: 30
    additionalConnectors:
      snmpdmProcess:
        uses: HPUXProcess
        variables:
          matchName: snmpdm
