We're being asked by SW support to validate whether or not the status of a monitored Linux process in the SNMP MIB matches the process status list when SAM reports a bogus process down event on a managed node.
The issue we're troubleshooting is a problem with SAM's SNMP-based process monitors, where is will repeatedly send a false positive (process Down) followed by an Up on each successive poll.
I have tinkered with building one, but so far I can't seem to get SAM to retrieve the values that are coming back from the ps -ef command.
Has anyone created a scripted alert action that could be used for this purpose on RedHat Enterprise servers?
