Appendix C. Probes 171• Blocked — The number of processes that have been switched to the waiting queue and waitingstate.• Child — The number of processes spawned by another process already running on the machine.• Defunct — The number of processes that have terminated (either because they have been killed bya signal or have called exit()) and whose parent processes have not yet received notification oftheir termination by executing (some form of) the wait() system call.• Stopped — The number of processes that have been stopped before their executions could be com-pleted.• Swapped — The number of processes that have been written to disk, generally due to a severememory shortfall.Field ValueCritical Maximum Blocked ProcessesWarning Maximum Blocked ProcessesCritical Maximum Child ProcessesWarning Maximum Child ProcessesCritical Maximum Defunct ProcessesWarning Maximum Defunct ProcessesCritical Maximum Stopped ProcessesWarning Maximum Stopped ProcessesCritical Maximum Swapped ProcessesWarning Maximum Swapped ProcessesTable C-70.
