snmp__processes

Name

snmp__processes - Munin plugin to monitor the number of processes on an SNMP device.

Applicable Systems

Any SNMP-capable device that reports the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemProcesses.0 OID.

Configuration

As a rule SNMP plugins need site specific configuration. The default configuration (shown here) will only work on insecure sites/devices.

[snmp_*]
     env.version 2
     env.community public

In general SNMP is not very secure at all unless you use SNMP version 3 which supports authentication and privacy (encryption). But in any case the community string for your devices should not be “public”.

Please see ‘perldoc Munin::Plugin::SNMP’ for further configuration information.

Interpretation

The total number of processes currently operating on the system.

Mib Information

This plugin requires support for the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB (RFC 2790). It reports the contents of the hrSystemProcesses OID.

Magic Markers

#%# family=snmpauto
#%# capabilities=snmpconf

Bugs

None known.

Could be extended to report the value of hrSystemMaxProcesses if it exists.
