Monitoring a process with its pid

[Jatin]

Hi Narsimha

I followed these steps:

1. Installed the snmpd daemon on the target machine that you want to 
monitor , use yum to install it. command is : yum install net-snmp

2. open the file snmpd.conf file from the directory /etc/snmp , you need 
to edit this file. locate the line which says "view systemview x.x.x.x.x 
" , make sure to add the oid for the first element in the 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB , usually if you dont edit this file then you will be 
only able to get reply for only one mib parameter from the 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.

3. Restart the snmpd daemon on the target machine using the command : 
service snmpd restart

4. In the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB , there is one parameter which shows the 
values for the processes running in the system , which is hrSWrun (not 
sure about the name though) locate using a MIB browser for the 
paremeters supported in this MIB.

I will check out and reply with some more detail when i go to office on 
monday , try if you can figure out with the above mentioned clues so far.

Thanks
Jatin
