proc_
Name
proc_ - Munin plugin to monitor various aspects of named processes
Applicable Systems
Processes running under Linux
Configuration
The plugin needs to be able to parse the /proc-filesystem.
The configuration section shows the defaults [proc_*] env.procname init env.category Process Info
env.procname defines the processname as seen inside the parenthesis of the second column in /proc/pid/stat. If you don’t get the data you expect, you can check if the value is what you expect here.
env.category is used to override the default category the plugin will show up in.
Interpretation
Each graph uses data from the proc filesystem.
Magic Markers
#%# family=auto
#%# capabilities=autoconf suggest
Version
$Id$
Bugs
The CPU usage graph will be misleading in an event where you have multiple processes monitored, but less then all of them is restarted (or exits). This is due to the nature of counters, and I need to track state of individual processes to do this in a reliable way. It’s on my TODO.
Patches-To
Dunno.

Thanks
Thanks to Kristian Lyngstøl, I stole most of the code in this plugin from his varnish_-plugin, which is a really nice outline of how a wildcardplugin should look like.
