COLLECT-ALL-PROCESSES

 (server version 4.17 or later)

   

 (Default = FALSE)  

COLLECT-ALL-PROCESSES  TRUE | FALSE                                      

                                                                         

Directs MOMI to collect all processes on the system regardless of its creation time.

 

By default, processes created in the future are not collected.

 

MOMI, in order to prevent possible process collection hangs, in its normal data collection INTERVAL does not monitor processes with a process creation time greater than the start of a particular collection interval.  In the situation where numerous processes are continually being created (i.e. 100's or 1000's), trying to pick up newly created processes could hang a MOMI CPU collector.  The default operation of MOMI, in order to work-around this possible situation, is to not pick-up processes created in the "future".

 

Systems used for test purposes that may adjust or play with (rather dramatically) the system time can use the keyword to alter the normal data collection operation.  A side effect of using this keyword, is that HUNG or STOP may be see on the Main Overview screen for CPUs if the situations described above occur.

 

 

Example:                      

 

                                  == collect all processes

                                  ==  regardless of process

                                  ==  creation time

COLLECT-ALL-PROCESSES true
