How it works?

  • Log-in to your Site24x7 account. Sign up here if you don't have one.
  • Download and install the latest version of Site24x7 Linux Agent
  • Install the Zombie Process plugin
  • The agent will execute the plugin and push the data to the Site24x7 server

Prerequisites:

  • Our plugin uses 'top' command to get the number of Zombie Process count

Zombie Process plugin installation:

  • Create a directory with the name "zombies", under Site24x7 Linux Agent plugin directory - /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/zombies
    cd /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/
    mkdir zombies
  • Download the file "zombies.py" from our GitHub repository and place it under the "zombies" directory
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/site24x7/plugins/master/zombies/zombies.py
  • Once the plugin file is downloaded, the agent will mark it up in the next data collection and you can view it in Site24x7 client
