Monitoring /proc/user beancounters via vzwatchd

From OpenVZ Virtuozzo Containers Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search


vzwatchd monitors the /proc/user_beancounters file for changes and sends mail notifications.

vzwatchd is the daemon associated with the App::OpenVZ::BCWatch perl module, which is the successor of monbean.pl and thus marks it as obsoleted and deprecated.

See the module's CPAN page (link below) for further information.

Installing[edit]

Invoke the CPAN shell with

$ sudo cpan -i App::OpenVZ::BCWatch

to install the module and follow the instructions.

Once done, consult the docs of App::OpenVZ::BCWatch.
