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.

6.1.3Process 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.

6.2Processes Monitored

Below is a list of processes that are monitored for Process Existence on the CMM by the Process Monitoring Service.
