Prerequisites:

Our plugin uses 'top' command to get the number of Zombie Process count

Zombie Process plugin installation:

Create a directory with the name "zombies", under Site24x7 Linux Agent plugin directory - /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/zombies

cd /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/

mkdir zombies

Download the file "zombies.py" from our GitHub repository and place it under the "zombies" directory

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/site24x7/plugins/master/zombies/zombies.py
