We are having a problem where hyperic occasionally reports the availability of running processes (like chef-client, but it happens to others as well) to 0. The value goes back to 1 the next time the process is checked. Using ps I can very that the process was up all the time.
This is annoying since it triggers an alarm. We could of course set the alarm to trigger if it happens X times in Y minutes. But that feels like fixing the symptoms and not the real problem.
It happens to us approximately once a day per machine (there is no pattern to it as far as we can see).
We use sigar and an expression like "Args.1.ew=chef-client,Args.0.ne=runsv"
So does anybody here know why hyperic occasionally erroneously reports a running process as down?
We are running hyperic 4.5.1.
