How can I find out whether the boost update process is running presently on Cacti? I want to check in a script before I start the regular system backup, delay my backup if it's boost is still running so that I don't overload the system and avoid the gaps I have around the time of my backup..
You can check by running
ps -ef
amd seeing if/var/www/html/cacti/plugins/boost/poller_boost.php
is running.That said, the path may be different for you, but there should still be a process with
cacti/plugins/boost/poller_boost.php
in it.
