Using this on Solaris, with a ps command of:
ps -A -o rss,commThis plugin works great also using the ps command of:
<pre> ps axuww </pre>And then you can use the “full” process name to distinguish between multiple processes (on one line):
<pre> /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/merb \ --merb-root /var/www/apps/example/current \ --daemonize --port 4000 \ --pid /var/www/apps/example/shared/pids/merb.4000.pid \ --environment production \ --log /var/www/apps/example/shared/log/merb.4000.log \ --log-level info </pre>Out of the box, this plugin just takes the friendly name, which in this case would be ruby (but I’ve got other ruby processes I need monitoring, and don’t want it confused).
