We have installed NRPE on our alpine system, and are using it to monitor processes. It is running as user nagios. We would like to monitor processes that are running as root. When we use check_procs from the nagios-plugins we cant see all the processes. Any ideas why we are limited on seeing these processes?

Thank you for the help.

Regards,

Dan

Found my answer. needed to uninstall libprocs, and and my user to group readproc with group id 30. Hope this helps anyone else with trouble.
