C.10.7. RHN Satellite Server::Process Counts
The RHN Satellite Server::Process Counts probe monitors the number of processes on a Satellite and collects the following metrics:
- Blocked — The number of processes that have been switched to the waiting queue and waiting state.
- Child — The number of processes spawned by another process already running on the machine.
- Defunct — The number of processes that have terminated (either because they have been killed by a signal or have called
exit()) and whose parent processes have not yet received notification of their termination by executing some form of thewait()system call. - Stopped — The number of processes that have stopped before their executions could be completed.
- Sleeping — A process that is in the
Interruptiblesleep state and that can later be reintroduced into memory, resuming execution where it left off.
