netbackup process monitoring

Hi,

i have been asked to provide a list of processes that we can monitor to determine whether or not our master/media servers are up and running.  Can anyone help me with this?

The issue i have, is that a number of the processes that run onthe master/media servers can spawn child processes tohelp with workload, and then close them down when it catches up.  I dont want to be reporting on these.

I am looking at getting NOM setup, but i have to set up this process monitoring in the meantime, so any help would be appreciated

regards

Rich


  • Main bprd and bpdbm have PPID of 1. Child/forked processes will have the main daemon PID as parent.
