No directly, but you could use a script to count the process names in the process table of the HOSTMIB and return a count.

PHP server would be a great way too implement this.

hi fmangeant,

thx for this - did you know a solution to graph how much RAM the mysqld processes use? This is a very important thing for my monitorig :)
My problem - I'm not a programmer...

Hi

it should be possible with a little script :D

You can get a list of MySQL processes like this :

Code: Select all

$ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost hrSWRunName | grep "mysqld"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3621 = STRING: "mysqld_safe"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3712 = STRING: "mysqld"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3771 = STRING: "mysqld"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3772 = STRING: "mysqld"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3773 = STRING: "mysqld"
Parse the output, and then query each process memory size, for example :

Code: Select all

$ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost hrSWRunPerfMem.3712
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPerfMem.3712 = INTEGER: 60516 KBytes

If you're talking on a win32 host, then yes you can. I wrote a script: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=6661
