Hi,I'm not a Linux person so this is a bit over my head so thought I'd see if anyone here could help.We have a service called BrokerAdvanced. There are multiple instances of this service running on each server that we need to monitor. I modified one of the Linux Process checks that I found that I think was called LinuxNewProcesses_with_Active_Discovery.The Arguments and Filter section look like this: and this is the Collection part:When the check runs, it does pull data, but it looks like this:We can't tell which one is which and it one stops and starts again, it gets a new PID so it just falls off the list and looks like a new process.If I go under Add Other Monitoring, and bring up a list of the running processes. Instead of organizaing these by PID, we'd like to organize them bu the Description of the item like this:That way, if one stopped and started, hopefully it would still be under the same item since the description (if that's what it is) would be the same. I'm not a Linux person and don't really know if we can get that information. The Name seems to be matching on an OID so maybe there's a different OID to get what we are looking for? Does anyone have any ideas on if we can do this somehow?Hopefully that all made sense.Thanks.
