Stackdriver Alerting Migration missing processes

[Julius Žaromskis]

Process monitoring

The alerting condition type Process Health checks the number of running processes in your VM instances. In the new platform, VM instances without an installed Stackdriver Monitoring agent are treated as if they have no running processes.

Processes are selected in the Process Health condition by a regular expression that is matched against the command_line field of the process. The regular expression is no longer matched against the command field.

OK, but I have the agent running, and process list is empty on many instances. Tried updating agent even, makes no difference. Is there something wrong on google's part? Is there a requirement for agent version to report processes?

Hi

I'm having the same issue. Agent is running and the monitoring web interfaces is showing the processes I'm monitoring.

Did you manage to solve this?

Regards,

Hi,

I have a similar problem since the update. Some processes show up, while others are missing. Some processes show up sometimes. The agent is up to date on the machine in question.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Stefan

Hello, An issue was identified with the monitoring agent that results in these symptoms and a new version was released. Please uninstall and re-install the agent by removing the stackdriver-agent and stackdriver-extractor (if present) package. After the packages have been uninstalled, manually remove the following files and directories, if they exist: /opt/stackdriver/ /etc/default/stackdriver-agent /etc/sysconfig/stackdriver-agent Reinstall (using the instructions and scripts at [1]) and let the agent run for about 5 minutes and see if the processes list displays.

Hopefully this will help.
