Monitoring server processes with Prometheus?

Question

System administration

I need to use Prometheus to see that the specified programs hang in processes.
Unsubscribe, who implemented it?
There is such an exporter, apparently with the help of it you need to implement https://github.com/ncabatoff/process-exporter

Answer 1

On Habré there is an article about Prometheus, you can also read the comments, there is interesting information there, you may find a solution to the issue.

Answer 2

Yes, you can dodge the specified exporter, but it’s just that Prometheus is a little different, the authors of Prometheus rely on the fact that your process will give metrics through its epiay and thereby report the status or not give it back and will be considered dead :)
You may slightly dislike the inertia of the fact that you want to do, although I do not know what you want to achieve as a result. :)
