The Orb Data Agent for Process Availability is built on IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.2.2 Agent Builder technology, it monitors the processes running on a Server.

Process Availability

For each process or group of related processes the agent ensures that the total count is within a permitted range. If the total count of processes is outside the expected range an ITM Situation is triggered with a reference to the process concerned.

This can be used to check that required processes are running or that unauthorised processes are not.
