[Zabbix-users] proc.num item for sidekiq process.

[Horacio S. <hs...@gm...>]

I am trying to create a proc.num item to check if my sidekiq processes [1]
are running on my worker servers but I am unable to get it to work.

I tried several combinations of proc.num[sidekiq,,,] to no avail. The issue
I believe is that the ps output of sidekiq does not show the command used
to invoke the process. In my servers (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) the output of ps
shows this:

#########################################################
$ ps -ef | grep sidekiq
sidekiquser 43373 0.1 6.2 767768 106776 ? Sl Oct11 8:45 sidekiq 2.11.2
myapp [0 of 16 busy]
#########################################################

What should I put on the proc.num to get this process count?

regards,
Horacio
