Nagios Core Disk space

[Sherrera]

I been running Nagios Core for a while now and have needed to add some more functionality. I would like to set it up to also check disk space but i haven't figured out how to yet. My installation is on a solaris server. I know it can be done, to pull the useage and free space off of a disk but i haven't gotten there yet. Thanks in advance

Look into the check_disk plugin. You should already have it on your system, since it's included with the standard Nagios plugins.

I checked and it is in there. How difficult is that to configure?

[agriffin]

It's not that hard. You can see the documentation for plugins by running them on the command with the '-h' switch, e.g. '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -h'. As for adding the check to Nagios, you should consult the Nagios Core manual. You will to add a command definition first, then add the command to a service definition.

Thank you. This will keep me busy for a bit.
