RE: {bb} bb-proctab

[Daniel O Winkless <wink@usgs.gov>]

Hi Paul,

        I have a slightly simpler situation.  I have a task where I need at least one running.  but more than 75 is a concern (yellow).  And more that 100 is a major concern (red).  So I don't need t look for too few...  I use:

localhost : task;<75 : task;<100

Because this WORKS for ME, I think the syntax is saying, "when this condition is NOT met, set this color."  IN the above, if I have fewer than 75 instances of task, yellow is NOT set.  If I have fewer than 100 instances, red is NOT set.

        For you, I would try something like:

here.myplace.com :  aproc;3 ; aproc;>2 aproc;<5

I read this as:

to avoid yellow, there must be three instances of aproc

to avoid red, there must be more than two instances of aproc

to avoid red, there must be fewer than five instances of aproc

        The only condition where green is permitted to survive the testing is three instances.  When there are four, the yellow state is signalled because there are not three instances.  

        The procs status page should have three lines for the status of aproc, one for each condition.

                                Dan

Thanks Philip, appreciate the effort. However this
is the type of logic
I was following (and failing miserably at), so now the output appears;

                
(red) aproc (>4) - 4 instances running, requires more than 4
                
(red) aproc (<3) - 4 instances running, requires less than 3

not what I was hoping for, can you think of anything else??

Thanks - Paul

Something like

  here.myplace.com : aproc;4 : aproc;<3 aproc;>4

should get you what you want.

Cheers, Phil.
