A.10.7. Red Hat Satellite::Process Counts

The Red Hat Satellite::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 the wait() system call.
Stopped - The number of processes that have stopped before their executions could be completed.
Sleeping - A process that is in the Interruptible sleep state and that can later be reintroduced into memory, resuming execution where it left off.
