Smarts ESM: What OIDS are used to determine if a process is running on a host

Products

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

Smarts EMC Service Manager can inspect a host for it's running services.

It uses these three OIDS to do so:

• 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2 - hrSWRunName
• .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.4 - hrSWRunPath
• .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.5 - hrSWRunParameters

Here's an example command on a Windows ESM server:

• <IP BaseDIR>/smarts/bin/sm_snmp.exe -d< IP_ADDRESS >  -v2c <OID#>

NOTE: Where IP_Address is the IP Address or DNS name and OID is one of the above mentioned OID numbers.  

To test and what these OIDS return you can use the commonly available SNMPWalk program. . 

More information on the SNMPWALK utility can be found at this WIKI link.

Note: In some cases you may want the full path to a process.  To do this, you need to enable UseFullProcessPath in the Polling and thresholds section of the User Interface.

Here's an example screenshot of what you need to do.
