The closest thing that is easy to the deploy is the <A href="http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22314/splunk-for-unix-and-linux">Splunk App for Linux and Unix</A>. This supports a <CODE>ps</CODE> data input which you can use to monitor processes. </P> <P>If this app doesn't give you exactly what you want out of the box, you can always roll your own scripted input.</P> Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:34:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/monitor-linux-processes/m-p/37994#M1053 dwaddle 2012-11-16T22:34:46Z
