[Nagiosplug-help] check_procs greedy matching

[Brian Dold]

Hi all:

 

I have a problem with greedy matching in check_procs.  I receive alerts
for two processes running when someone looks at a core file on our
system.  

 

Definition:

command[check_process_by_fullpath]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs
-c 1:1 --metric PROCS --argument-array "$ARG1$"

 

Service Description:

define service {

    use         uschi12tv02-proc-template

    service_description PROCESS: TV Server Process

    check_period        uschi12tv02-tvserver-hours

    notification_period uschi12tv02-tvserver-hours

    check_command
check_nrpe!check_process_by_fullpath!"/ctc/tv/bin/linux32/tvserverd"

}

 

When someone runs the following to look at core files, we get a false
alert that two processes are running because the binary is in the core
command:

gdb /ctc/tv/bin/linux32/tvserverd /ctc/cores/core.tvserverd.22217.11

 

I need to match similar to below (although this doesn't work):

check_command
check_nrpe!check_process_by_fullpath!"^/ctc/tv/bin/linux32/tvserverd$"
- (note the ^ and $)

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

 

Thank you,

 

Brian Dold
