Nagios Support Forum

Is it possible that in the course of running the check the plugin is timing out? Is the return you're getting occurring right away, or after the 120 second timeout you specified? It's not clear what you're checking, but I could imagine your monitoring of several GB of files taking awhile if the file...

Hi, Wondering if anyone has attempted to dynamically monitor services (for e.g. file systems, VMware VMs and other ever changing items) using Nagios XI? I realize you can create a blanket/global plugin, say for example for file systems to say if any mount point exceeds a threshold then fire, etc. b...

While I can't give you specifics, I can tell you that an internal feature request was submitted at the behest of a customer for that exact issue. Perhaps one of the staff can indicate the status of that request, last I knew it was still pending approval.

The Makefile doesn't know how to handle Ubuntu. The difference is that Ubuntu stores it's conf.d fo...

So one question is that when it is checking the drives on the system it keeps a record of the usage etc. In the context of drive checks, "usage" generally refers to the amount of disk space consumed. This number can go up and down but generally remains static. Your scalar constantly incre...

What type of system is hostname? Not all snmp agents have UCD-SNMP-MIB OIDs installed. If you ran this against a Cisco switch for example you can be rest assured you'd get the error you're seeing. If this is a Linux system (which is my assumption) do 2 things: 1) snmpwalk the entire tree: snmpwalk -...

I'm assuming that your service check results look something like this: OK - 100000 pages printed 5 minutes later OK - 100001 pages printed 5 minutes later OK - 100003 pages printed etc. right? So Nagios is not stateful by default. It doesn't break things up into time periods. If you want to do that ...
