It has been modified to allow extensibility quickly +and easily. It is far from the best and most configurable systems; +but hey: its free. + +We use this agent here to monitor known system problems before they +take the machine over. The agent can be easily configured to +monitor the number of a given process running, run external scripts +to check and report functional status. Examples: mountd(s) under +Ultrix 4.3 which tend to fork themselves crazy and eventually fill +up the process table; On our hp700s, "amd" sometimes stops working, +HP VUE hangs and fails to start X, etc. |
