Hi all, on a server linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3) i have to configure monitoring on ITO (OVO) of nfsd. i see the process are listen as [nfsd] if i try to insert the entry in ps_mon.cfg using [ ] i get an sintax error message. anyone know how to solve the problem ?
The man page of the Linux ps command says: ---- Sometimes the process args will be unavailable; when this happens, ps will instead print the executable name in brackets. ----
So the name of the process is really nfsd (without any brackets).
The nfsd processes have brackets around them because they're not user-land processes, but kernel processes. I'm not sure what you're monitoring regarding them, but if they have a problem, you have bigger issues given that they're in kernel-space.
