Process Monitoring and Integrity
watchdog monitoring is relatively lightweight and can be done every second, although, the process
being monitored may dictate a (much) lower frequency depending on how often it is capable of
feeding the watchdog.
6.1.3 Process Integrity Monitoring
The Process Integrity Executable (PIE) will be responsible for determining the health of process or
processes. When a PIE finds an unhealthy process, it will notify the PMS of the errant process so
that the PMS can take the appropriate action. An example of a PIE would be one that monitored the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) process. The PIE could utilize SNMP get
operations to query the SNMP process. If the SNMP process cannot respond to the queries with the
appropriate information, the process would be considered unhealthy and the PIE would notify the
PMS.
Process integrity monitoring may be used in conjunction with existence monitoring to provide a
comprehensive solution.
6.2 Processes Monitored
Below is a list of processes that are monitored for Process Existence on the CMM by the Process
Monitoring Service.
