No processes running?

[Colosus]

Forgive the newb question, but I'm new to SNMP. When trying to perform a query for the processes currently running, it always returns a 'No xxx process running' even though there are. Only 2 servers are having this issue. One is CentOS 4.1 and one is CentOS 4.2. Where is SNMP looking for processes running?

What script are you using to monitor processes?
Using SNMP, this should be hrSWRunTable

I forget the name of the script. It was one of the ones in the Best Post thread. It's pulling from the OID tree .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1 which displays what processes are being monitored by SNMP, but shows:

UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.1 = STRING: No httpd process running.

Which is obviously incorrect.

Hi

did you add this to snmpd.conf :

Code: Select all

proc httpd

Yes. If I hadn't I would have gotten a different error as it wouldn't be able to find an index. In this case, it's able to pull indexes for all the processes I'm trying to monitor, but says that none of them are running.
