PrTableMonitor

The PrTableMonitor monitor tests the prTable of a Net-SNMP agent.

prTable definition

A table containing information on running programs/daemons configured for monitoring in the snmpd.conf file of the agent. Processes violating the number of running processes required by the agent’s configuration file are flagged with numerical and textual errors.

The monitor looks up the prErrorFlag entries of this table. If the value of a prErrorFlag entry in this table is set to 1, the service is considered unavailable.

prErrorFlag definition

An Error flag to indicate trouble with a process. It goes to 1 if there is an error, 0 if no error.
