Linux process monitor for java

Question

Hi,

I would like to monitor java via snmp process monitor, but need to monitor for java processes started for a specific application, and not every java application running on a server.  Is it possible to monitor for only java processes running for a specific application?  Thanks in advance.

If the process name is the same for the ones you want to monitor, and the ones you don't want monitored there's no way of distinguishing between them. I would recommend monitoring the java applications you want monitored via SNMP or JMX instead of monitoring the individual processes themselves.
