Process Monitoring
Overview
The Process Monitoring Settings is a pre-loaded repository of all the generic processes present in a server (virtual or bare-metal). This feature allows you to monitor processes and rediscover applications easily. When you discover a server, AIOps checks if any of the processes present in this list are active in the server, and if so, these processes are provisioned as monitors.
The pre-loaded list covers most of the well-known processes you need to monitor, making it a comprehensive and efficient solution. However, you can add any specific processes that you want to monitor, giving you complete control over the monitoring process. Once you add a process to the list, you can start monitoring it by executing a rediscovery run.
The list of processes and services also helps you rediscover applications. This is a crucial aspect of the monitoring process, as it ensures that you can easily detect and monitor instances within a monitor.
To rediscover an application present on a Windows server, the corresponding process and service should be available in the Process Monitoring Settings and Service Monitoring Settings, respectively. If they are not already present, you can create a new record for these processes and services and then execute a rediscovery run to monitor the application.
To rediscover an application present on a Linux server, the corresponding process should be available in the Process Monitoring Settings. If it is not already present, you can create a new record for these processes and then execute a rediscovery run to monitor the application.
Overall, the Process Monitoring feature enables you to monitor your processes and applications effectively, ensuring that your infrastructure is always running smoothly. For more information about rediscovery, please refer to this guide.
