Hi Kaustubh, the short answer is no. You can not modify Observium to get you a list of processes. The reason is that Observium monitor other servers via the SNMP-protocol. Observium can only gather information that the servers chose to expose via SNMP. The amount of running processes is gathered by the server and exposed via SNMP so that Observium can draw the above graph. Which processes are running and are using the most resources are simply not show over SNMP and would be close to impossible to add.
I would instead recommend that you take a look at the Observium UNIX-agent(if the servers you want to monitor runs linux/BSD) It could probably gather this info for you and send the information to Observium but I do not think this function exists yet. But if you would like to add it then the UNIX-agent is the place to do it

I will give my use case again.
Following is the graphs for running process consumption:
[image: cid:image001.png@01D43EAC.03C3D610]
But this graph does not show me what processes are consuming the load like lets say “java” process or something on the graph.
Let me give you an example, I sometimes get requests from folks asking, “*Ok my memory utilization on a server ABC was 90% on this particular day. Can we get list of processes consuming high memory on that particular day ? * “
So as per this, can I customize the graph to get process level info ?
Example below is an graph which is giving top 10 processes consuming the cpu/memory utilization or the top 10 Process ID:
[image: cid:image002.png@01D43F98.507BB350]
Hence wanted to know can I customize observium graphs to display something like the above screenshot (Obviously look and feel will change) but to get the top process consumption data.
Regards
Kaustubh

Why does this not make sense? I already gave my use case when I first asked this querry:
Comments as below:
I have been using observium for few months now. I wanted some info from the graphs that observium spins off.
Following is the graphs for running process consumption:

Can I get something like top 10 process graphs?

What you mean as "process level".. CPU load?
This is impossible (and it makes no sense), because here is checked if poller process already launched. And records information about the process just created (when there is still no load in it).

I am trying to get the process level information through observium.
Hence I am trying to leverage the script or if there is anything else you guys can assist me or guide me to.

# write into db current process info
p_query = """INSERT INTO `observium_processes` (`process_pid`,`process_ppid`,`process_name`,`process_uid`,`process_command`,`process_start`,`device_id`)
VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,'0')"""try:
cursor.execute(p_query, (pid,ppid,scriptname,uid,command,s_time))
process_id = db.insert_id()
db.commit()
except:
pass
Can I leverage the above for process level info ?

I found the poller-wrapper.py script
Was thinking if I can do some customization on this script. Can you experts please suggest something

There is no script. These are counters pulled from either HOST-RESOURCES-MIB or UCD-MIB via SNMP.

Ok,
Can you let me know what script observium uses to pull the performance data ? There has to be script which is running on the system correct.

Hi,
We don't currently collect per-process statistics.
