CheckMem on WindowsServer without warn/crit

Post by very_best »

Hello!

i want to check the mem-state of my windows-server. but I don't want to set a warning or critical.
Is this possible?

our default: check_nrpe -t 50 -H<host> -c CheckMem -a ShowAll MaxWarn=98% MaxCrit=100% type=physical

but I have one Server where I don't need the alarm if mem is very high.

Does removing the MaxWarn and MaxCrit values get you the desired effect? If other checks use this values intentionally, you may need to define a separate command for this machine's memory.

Like so:

Code: Select all

[root@xi-stable libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.67.99 -t 30 -c CheckMem -a ShowAll MaxWarn=40% MaxCrit=50% type=physical
critical(physical: Total: 3.999GB - Used: 3.065GB (76%) - Free: 956.859MB (23%))|'physical'=3.065GB;1.59977;1.99971;0;3.99943 'physical %'=77%;40;50;0;100
[root@xi-stable libexec]# echo $?
2

...

[root@xi-stable libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.67.99 -t 30 -c CheckMem -a ShowAll type=physical
physical: Total: 3.999GB - Used: 3.016GB (75%) - Free: 0.983GB (24%)|'physical'=3.0161GB;3.19954;3.59949;0;3.99943 'physical %'=75%;80;90;0;100
[root@xi-stable libexec]# echo $?

check_nrpe -t 50 -H<server> -c CheckMem -a ShowAll MaxWarn=98% MaxCrit=100% type=physical
physical: Total: 63.99GB - Used: 55.772GB (87%) - Free: 8.218GB (12%)|'physical'=55.77223GB;62.71017;63.98997;0;63.98997 'physical %'=87%;97;100;0;100

check_nrpe -t 50 -H <server> -c CheckMem -a ShowAll type=physical
warning(physical: Total: 63.99GB - Used: 55.743GB (87%) - Free: 8.247GB (12%))|'physical'=55.74306GB;51.19198;57.59098;0;63.98997 'physical %'=87%;79;89;0;100

what plugin for CheckMem are you using? it looks like it's defaulting to 79/89 for thresholds which is a bit out of nagios / NRPE's control.

food for thought, you might be able to set your maxwarn / maxcrit to 0, to eliminate the thresholds. (depending on the plugin)

Hello!

On Windows-Systems I am using NSClient++: I (0.5.0.32 2016-03-20) seem to be doing fine...

I'm confused. Are you saying it now works? Did you upgrade NSClient or something?

Did you set it to 0? Another option would be 99 and 100. I assume you were getting notifications on 98, which is why you posted in the first place? Maybe that's not a valid assumption.

Hello!

If I set it to = I will get a critical.
so I have to set it to 99 and 100!

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!
