Various Linux Kernel Counters

Distribution	Official part of Checkmk
Lizenz	GPLv2
Unterstützte Agenten	Linux

This check monitors various counters as found in /proc/stat and /proc/vmstat. Examples for those counters are ctxt (the number of process context switches per second), pgmajfault (the number of major page faults per second) and processes (the number of process creations per second).

You can set a critical and warning level on each of those counters or just monitor them without levels in order to collect performance data. Levels you set to None will not be checked.

The kernel counter

Discovery

One service is created for {"Major Page Faults"}, {"Context Switches"} and {"Process Creations"} per default on each host. You can override this list globally by setting {inventory_kernel_counters} to a list of strings with those counters that should be inventorized. Use {ignored_services} if you need a host-specific configuration of the inventory.
