nrpe&check_load = false results

Post by crechet51 »

Hi,

When I run:

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H my.own.host -c check_load
I get:

Code: Select all

OK - load average: 1.10, 0.79, 0.69|load1=1.100;2.000;5.000;0; load5=0.792;2.000;5.000;0; load15=0.693;2.000;5.000;0;
but at this time, on the computer that I am checking:

Code: Select all

load average: 4,66, 3,15, 3,51
Why does nrpe get false results?

Can you show the check_load command from nrpe.cfg on my.own.host

You have the -r flag specified

Code: Select all

 -r, --percpu
    Divide the load averages by the number of CPUs (when possible)
