2023-11-28check_procs: ignore our own childrenrefs/pull/1968/headSven Hartge1-0/+7
On systems with higher core counts check_procs will occasionally see its own "ps" child process with a high CPU percentage and raise a false alarm. Ignoring the child processes of check_procs prevents this from happening.

2014-01-19Project rename initial commit.Monitoring Plugins Development Team1-3/+3
This is an initial take at renaming the project to Monitoring Plugins. It's not expected to be fully complete, and it is expected to break things (The perl module for instance). More testing will be required before this goes mainline.
2013-11-19check_procs: ignore plugin parent processAnton Lofgren1-0/+8
This fixes an issue that appears when running check_procs over NRPE, where the default shell is configured to (for example) dash, as is the case on Debian. dash (and tcsh, and mksh, and probably others), when invoked with -c forks an additional process to execute the argument string. Contrast this with bash, which does not do this, provided that the argument string simply can be exec()'d as-is. To demonstrate: $ bash -c pstree init─┬ .. ... ├─sshd─-─sshd───pstree versus $ dash -c pstree init─┬ .. ... ├─sshd─-─sshd───dash───pstree The consequence of this fork is that the following invocation: /opt/plugins/check_procs -a init will result in this output: PROCS OK: 2 processes with args 'init' | processes=2;;;0; because the check_procs, in addition to finding the actual init process, finds its parent shell as well. This example is a bit contrived, but I think it illustrates the point. This wouldn't really be a problem, and normally isn't, if it weren't for the fact that NRPE uses a call to popen() which does exactly the above (executes '/bin/sh -c ...'), causing inconsistent behaviour between distributions and much confusion for end users. The argument may be made that the dash process spawned by NRPE is just a process like any other, and should therefore be included in the process count just like any other. However, this is not very intuitive, because of the previously mentioned inconsistencies. The argument might also well be made that we're _never_ interested in the immediate ancestor of the plugin, and while it is unknown how many installations have already made the necessary modifications to their setups to make up for the fact that the plugin behaves the way it does, it is not deemed worthwhile to entertain such workarounds. Thus, this patch ignores the parent process.

2013-08-18check_procs: Assume we have stat()Sebastian Schmidt1-10/+2
stat() is in gnulib anyway, so we can safely depend on it.
2013-08-18check_procs: Get rid of HAVE_PROC_PID_EXESebastian Schmidt1-1/+1
Don't check for /proc/pid/exe at compile time, it could be gone in a build chroot or the like. Checking at runtime (once) is sufficient.
2013-08-18check_procs: Ignore ENOENT when checking for myselfSebastian Schmidt1-1/+4
Previously, when a process exited between the call to /bin/ps and stat("/proc/his/exe") was exiting it was not considered as possible instance of check_procs. This commit makes check_procs ignore all processes where /proc/pid/exe does not exist.
2013-08-18check_procs: fix typoSebastian Schmidt1-1/+1
Fix a typo in previous commit where st_ was missing in the mock struct_stat_t, causing check_procs.c to not compile without sys/stat.h.
2013-08-18check_procs: filter out self by /proc/pid/exeSebastian Schmidt1-3/+49
Make check_procs filter out itself in the process list by comparing the file pointed to by /proc/pid/exe. On platforms where this is not available or when check_procs is passed the -T flag, the old behaviour (check whether PID equals getpid()) is retained. This fixes some false alarms when e.g. Nagios has, for whatever reasons, some backlog of checks to run and check_procs with -a is called more than once in a short time, matching its sister process.
2013-08-17Fixed SF.net bug #3552839, check_procs: added -k option to ignore kernel threadsRichard Leitner1-2/+29
This commit fixes sourceforge.net bug #3552839. It adds a -k|--no-kthreads option to ignore kernel thread processes. Please note: currently this feature only works for GNU/Linux systems (due to the fact I have no other systems to test/develop on) Sorry for that, but I'm sure this can be accomplished by somebody else ;-)

2012-11-14check_procs: Use the range/threshold support functions from libnagiosplug.Sebastian Harl1-89/+17
This adds support for @<range> and makes stuff a bit simpler by removing code duplications. Note: Previously, the compatibility code for 'check_procs <warn> <max>' accepted something like 'check_procs -w 10:-1 -c 10:-1 20 50' as well (treating it as if '-w 10:20 -c 10:50' was specified). This is no longer the case ... additional arguments are only used as warn/crit thresholds in case -w/-c is not specified at all.
