* Description:
*
* This file contains the check_procs plugin
*
* Checks all processes and generates WARNING or CRITICAL states if the
* specified metric is outside the required threshold ranges. The metric
* defaults to number of processes. Search filters can be applied to limit
* the processes to check.
*
* The parent process, check_procs itself and any child process of
* check_procs (ps) are excluded from any checks to prevent false positives.

This plugin checks the number of currently running processes and\n\
generates WARNING or CRITICAL states if the process count is outside\n\
the specified threshold ranges. The process count can be filtered by\n\
process owner, parent process PID, current state (e.g., 'Z'), or may\n\
be the total number of running processes\n\n"));
