Hi Support,

i have a system running the same process name but with different parameters. So if i type ps -e then i get like 10 times the process "gacengine" running. But if i type ps -x i get the parameters to each process.

/opt/gwema/bin/gacengine -c /opt/gwema/conf/gwema_001.conf
/opt/gwema/bin/gacengine -c /opt/gwema/conf/gwema_002.conf
.
.
.

Is it somehow possible to get every process monitored?

The KB https://https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/76000063726 is working great, but only if the process name is unique.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards Matthias

This script can render the output of ps (plus most parameters) as JSON, which might be easier to work with. You'll need to do some additional scripting to push this to PRTG, though :)

Thanks for the fast answer. Then i need someone who has scripting skills :P But this should be easy.

Have a nice day.
