UNIX or Linux Process
You can use the UNIX or Linux Process synthetic transaction type to determine if a particular
process is currently running on a computer running the UNIX or Linux operating systems that
have the Operations Manager agent installed. When configuring a synthetic transaction type
to determine if a process is running on a computer with a supported UNIX or Linux operating
system installed, you must provide the following information:
Process name The name of the process.
Computer group The Operations Manager computer group that contains the UNIX
or Linux hosts that you want to check for the process.
Alert sensitivity The sensitivity of the alert to raise if the process is not running.
You can also configure a regular expression to filter process arguments to separate mul-
tiple instances of a process with the same name.
