Hi,

I'm trying to achieve AutoHealing through Zenoss, the scenario I have is when a server runs out of free swap memory there is a certain process service I need to restart.

Is is possible to achieve that with Zenoss I have been searching the documentation with no luck...

I have set the swap memory threshold and get the notification successfully but I really need your help for the steps in order to execute a remote command on the target server to restart the process.

Kind regards.

You want to make a new Notification of type Command, then fill in the command box eg.

ssh ${evt/device} /run/my/command

Good luck though ssh'ing into a box that's out of swap, you may not be able to start your login process!

rather than waiting until the box is out of swap, you might want to restart the process at 70% swap utilization, or allocate more swap/ram I'd also point out that if the time it takes to run out of resources is semi-consistent, you may wish to simply add an entry to the local crontab.
