I have a windows server that was added using the server wizard. It has existing disk checks for C: and D: and these are working fine.
Now I want to monitor another disk E: I've added to that server.
I use the core config manager
I click Services
I click the Copy icon for the D: check.
I modify the new duplicate service, I do the following:
- Change the Config Name so it no longer has "(1)" in the name
Change the Service description to Drive E: Disk Usage Check
At this point it is worth noting that the $ARG1$ field is empty, there is nothing typed in here. When I look at the original service I took a copy of it also has an $ARG1$ field that is empty. I assume this is how the wizard has configured it.
At this point it is worth noting that the $ARG2$ field has USEDDISKSPACE typed in it
Change $ARG3$ field to -l E -w 80 -c 90
I click the Save button
I get the form check warning that "You have not filled in all command arguments for your selected command!
I click OK
I get the secure question that "You have not filled in some required fields"
I click Yes
When I look at the fields, $ARG1$ is now populated with what used to be in $ARG$2, $ARG2$ is now populated with what used to be in $ARG$2 and $ARG$3 is empty.
So this is my problem. I have also tried creating a service from scratch without using the copy feature and also get the same problem. It does not seem to like $ARG1$ being an empty field even though this is how the configuration wizard creates it initially.
Looking for some help here, am I doing things the correct way?
I am using the XI virtual machine that has been imported to ESx 4.0 Update 1. I orginally downloaded 2009R1.1C, upgraded to 2009R1.1D. The symptoms above were from the 2009R1.1D.
I upgraded last night to 2009R1.1F and this problem is still occuring.
All my management has been using IE 7 or IE 8.
P.S. Nagios rocks
