What is processNum?
A Gauge giving the current count of processes running on the system. A steep, sustained rise can indicate a fork bomb or a runaway process spawning children faster than they exit.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.4.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HP-UNIX::processNum
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.4.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HP-UNIX::processNum.1
