I'm looking for a way to get Zenoss to monitor the number of open file descriptors. Is this possible
We have a service that has been failing due to using up all available file descriptors. Having an alert trigger when it gets close to the threshold would be useful.
Fixing the service so it closes file descriptors automatically is not a feasible solution. I have increased the file descriptor limit and set up a script to restart the offending service every night but it would still be good to have monitoring in place just in case.
Thanks!

from the command line:
$ sudo lsof | wc -l
will get you the count you're wanting
http://wiki.zenoss.org/Writing_Command_Data_Sources should help you set up a command datasource to monitor that.
