# check_procs_multi

check_procs_multi is a Nagios plugin similar to check_procs able to

check several processes at once.

## Installation

Installation instructions are contained in the INSTALL file

## Nagiosgrapher

Some hints and comments about the usage of the plugin with

Nagiosgrapher

1. plugin name

   Beware that if you are using Nagiosgrapher, the tool is not able to

   distinguish between check_procs and check_procs_multi (since it looks

   for PROCS in the plugin name).

   To avoid the problem you can just rename the name of the plugin in the

   output:

   ```

   $ check_procs_multi [arguments] | sed -e 's/CHECK_PROCS_MULTI/MULTIPROC/g'

   ```

2. adding and removing checks

   If you change the monitored processes and change the corresponding

   Nagiosgrapher template the data file (RRD) will not be updated. You

   will have to delete the .rrd file (losing all the data) or modify it

   (e.g., by using a Perl script and ```RRD::Simple```).

   Example script (by Marcus Schopen):

   ```

   #!/usr/bin/perl

   use strict;

   use warnings;

   use RRD::Simple;

   my $rrd = RRD::Simple->new();

   $rrd->add_source( '/path/file.rrd', 'APACHE2' => 'GAUGE' );

   ```
