Hello,
I have multiple, identically named processes running on a Win2008 server that I need to monitor. When I add one of them, the PID that is reflected in the Command and Args section is that of a different process running on the same Win2008 server. In fact, any process I add, all with different PIDs, all show as the same PID as another process. So, for instance, process with PID 15269 in Windows, shows as a PID of 9252 in the Command and Args line of AppManager. Consequentially, when this process fails, it is not alerted, because process 9252 is still running on the system.
Also, I cannot find where I can set the instance count for the process, nor does it seem to do this automatically. I add the process, and it shows "1" instance, even though there are 10 instances of the same process, all with unique PIDs running under Windows. Since the PID on all of these processes will change, how do I get AppManager to properly recognize all the separate processes and alert me if just one of them fails? If I add all 10 processes separately, I get a list of 10 processes, all apparently showing the PID of a different process.
Another post referenced the settings in this image. I cannot find these specific settings anywhere in my process config screens. Is it part of AppManager:
Here is and additional screenshot to clarify what I mean about multiple processes:
When I add the e4N_Server.exe process, this is what I get for Command and Args:
"C:\Liaison\E4N_Server.exe" -chipcontrol -c=***4:A:02:*270 -win=0 -w=587400128 -p=9252 -a=34876504 -i=1
But, "-p9252" is the PID of another process running on this server. What do these arguments refer to? Do you have any reference for these? I have searched everywhere I can think of and can find no information as to what these "args" or switches refer to or do. Please provide detailed information on them if you can.
We are running version 10600. What can I do to get AppManager to recognize each process properly? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Kindest Regards,
Ian
Edit:
I am adding a screen shot of what a monitored server looks like in AppManager after it is rebooted. Please note that none of the services that are showing in AppManager are actually down.
