check_mem command misreporting

Using Nagios XI 2014R2.7 I am setting up monitoring on an Ubuntu 14.04 server. I used the Wizard to setup the monitoring. The Memory Usage command works, but I'm getting memory warnings on the server that don't make sense to me. The command is: $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $AR...

Re: How can I reset the NSClient software?

Turned out my problem was with NRPE. When I did the client install without NRPE, the monitoring tasks on the nagios server came up no problem.

Re: How can I reset the NSClient software?

Thank you. I found an NSC.ini that contained the password. That wasn't my problem though. The allowed_hosts and password parameters are set correctly. I may be on the wrong track.

How can I reset the NSClient software?

Hi. I am trying to set up a Windows 2003 R2 server for monitoring. The NSClient agent was installed before, but the person who did it is no longer with the company and we don't know what password he used for the client setup. I tried uninstalling the NSClient agent software and reinstalling it to se...

new service not showing up in the cfg file

I created a host using the Windows server Wizard. That went OK. The services created included a disk check of C: drive. This server also has a D: drive that I would like to monitor. So I made another service and copied the C: drive service, except for the drive letter which I made D. I tested with t...

Re: check_mem warning question

That was it. The server is running Ubuntu and did not have the dc utility installed. I ran sudo apt-get dc and it was installed. Now the test button works. Thanks a lot.

Re: check_mem warning question

I am looking at the /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/custom_check_mem bash script. I suspect that the section of code below is where the problem is. Specifically, in the percent calculation. I've done Unix scripting before, but I have to admit that I don't understand sed and gawk well enough to follow the ca...

Re: check_mem warning question

I used the Linux monitoring wizard to set this up. This is what is in the "Monitor the service with this command" box. check_nrpe!check_mem!-a '-w 20 -c 10'!!!!!! Ran a test in the core configuration for this command and got this. COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.206.201...

Re: check_mem warning question

When I tried custom_check_mem it said "Command custom_check_mem not defined." I tried the -n with the check_mem command and it threw the waning again.
