Guidelines

Announcement Support for this product will end on November 3, 2025. We recommend that you use PATROL for Linux, PATROL for AIX, or PATROL for Solaris to monitor operating systems.

Using the PATROL KM for UNIX for Process Monitoring


You can use the PATROL KM for UNIX to monitor processes in your environment. The PATROL KM for UNIX can monitor:

  • a single process on a single computer
  • a local process across multiple computers within a process host group (this feature is helpful when you are monitoring processes in a clustered environment)
  • several running instances of a process on a single computer
  • several running instances of a process across multiple computers within a process host group (this feature is helpful when you are monitoring processes in a clustered environment)

When you set up a process for monitoring, you can use the PATROL KM for UNIX to:

  • restart a process that has stopped
  • stop a process
  • alarm when an unauthorized User ID owns a process
  • alarm when the number of processes running in a host group drops below a specified minimum number
  • alarm when the number of processes running in a host group exceeds a specified maximum number
  • alarm when a process does not have a parent process ID (PPID) of 1 (a PPID of 1 indicates that a process is owned by init)

Note

Users can make changes to settings in the PROCESS PRESENCE application class via a PATROL Operator Console. You must set up access control lists (ACLs) to prevent users from making changes to PROCESS PRESENCE settings via a PATROL Operator Console.
