Unit Monitor Types

This reference describes Unit Monitor Types in the UNIX/Linux Authoring Library example Management Pack.

Process Monitoring Monitor Types

UNIX/Linux Process Count Monitor Type

ID	Unix.Authoring.WSManEnumeration.ProcessCount.MonitorType
Description	A monitor type that monitors the count of running instances of specified process, with optional argument filtering.
Type	Two-State
Data Source	Microsoft.Unix.Process.Library!Microsoft.Unix.WSMan.ProcessEnumerator
Configuration
Parameter	Type	Description
Interval	Integer	The frequency interval, in seconds, at which the data source will run.
TargetSystem	String	The target system for the monitor. Typically: $Target/#HostReferences#/Property[Type="#Unix Library Alias#!Microsoft.Unix.Computer"]/NetworkName$
ProcessName	String	The name of the process to monitor
Arguments FilterExpression	String	An optional Regular Expression that can be used to distinguish between multiple instances of processes with the same name. The process arguments of the processes with a name matching ProcessName are evaluated against this Regular Expression. Only processes with arguments that match the Regular Expression are evaluated by the monitor.
Min ProcessCount	Integer	The minimum count of running processes. If the count of processes matching the ProcessName and Arguments Filter Expression is less than this value, the monitor will be set to an Error state.
Max ProcessCount	Integer	The maximum count of running processes. If the count of processes matching the ProcessName and Arguments Filter Expression is greater than this value, the monitor will be set to an Error state.

ID	Unix.Authoring.ShellCommand.PropertyBag.GreaterThanThreshold.ThreeState.MonitorType
Description		A monitor type that runs a shell command through a WS-Management invocation, and passes the output to a Microsoft.Windows.PowerShellPropertyBagProbe probe action. The PowerShell Property Bag probe can be used to parse and manipulate output from the shell command. The specified value of the Property Bag is evaluated against numeric warning and error threshold values. For use in monitoring numeric values, where errors are indicated by values greater than a threshold.
Type		Three-State
Data Source		Unix.Authoring.TimedShellCommand.PropertyBag.DataSource
Configuration
Parameter		Type	Description
Interval		Integer	The frequency interval, in seconds, at which the data source will run.
TargetSystem		String	The target system for the monitor. Typically: $Target/#HostReferences#/Property[Type="#Unix Library Alias#!Microsoft.Unix.Computer"]/NetworkName$
