After the OPMS is installed, the monit summary output may show an error in the bm_proxy process.

This is even if the process will be shown as running:

# ps -ef | grep browsermob-proxy

Environment

Release : 99.0

Component :

Cause

 

The monit checks for the existence of the process by looking for the pid in this file

 

     /opt/asm/var/run/browsermob-proxy.pid

 

It can happen that the file is not created so the monit status will be inaccurate

Resolution

 

 

 

Use this process to allow monit to reflect the correct status:

Find pid with this command:

 

     ps aux | grep app.name=browsermob-proxy | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'

 

Kill process:

     kill -9 <pid>

 

restart using monit:

     monit restart bm_proxy

Additional Information

 

bm_proxy is used by full-page monitors and real-time browser monitor (rbtm) (Firefox)
