What is hrSystemProcesses?
This read-only gauge reports the total number of process contexts currently loaded or running on the host. A sudden spike here, especially approaching hrSystemMaxProcesses, warns of a runaway fork bomb or process leak before the system runs out of process table slots.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HOST-RESOURCES-V2-MIB::hrSystemProcesses
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HOST-RESOURCES-V2-MIB::hrSystemProcesses.1
Example output:
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemProcesses.0 = Gauge32: 182
