Can you please attach the plugin.

Dear Team,

Please check the attached aix_ram_plugin, its coming by default with following plugins name:

First download the pre-compiled Nagios plugin binaries for AIX 5.3 from the following URL:

http://exchange.nagios.org/hostedfiles/ ... lugins.tgz

Next download the pre-compiled NRPE binaries from the following URL:

http://assets.nagios.com\downloads\nagiosxi\agents\AIX-5.3-nrpe-2.12-binaries.tar.gz

Wait, which are you using? They both have a memory check in them.

Please attach/upload the modified plugin you are having issues with (the file itself, not in a code block).

Dear Team,

Please check the attached file i am having issue with, i am not getting graphs with this default plugin.

nagarjuna, you still have not attached a plugin to your post. You will need to click "Upload Attachment" when creating your response, and then browse to the plugin and click "Add the file".

[nagarjuna]

Sorry tmcdonald,

Due to file extension it was not uploaded, please check now check_aix_ram which we are using in AIX system. Please check once

Well this is a completely different plugin than you initially posted in code\quote blocks, but I have attached a modified version that should output perfdata.

I think the big issue here is that bash cannot do floats (without awk/bc help), and the following command (from the script) that I had you run loads a float into the $RAMUSAGE var:

Code: Select all

svmon | grep memory | awk '{print ($3/$2)*100}'
87.0785

You will need to truncate the decimal and everything afterwards with:

Code: Select all

int=${float%.*}

(substituting "RAMUSAGE" for "int" and "float")
See the final script below:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# check aix ram usage
#
[ $# -ne 2 ] && echo "usage: $0 <warn> <crit>" && exit 3

WARN=$1
CRIT=$2

RAMUSAGE=`svmon | grep memory | awk '{ print ($3/$2)*100 }'`
RAMUSAGE=${RAMUSAGE%.*}
if [ ${RAMUSAGE} -ge ${WARN} ] && [ ${RAMUSAGE} -lt ${CRIT} ]; then

	echo "WARN - RAM usage is at ${RAMUSAGE}%"
	exit 1;

elif [ ${RAMUSAGE} -ge ${CRIT} ]; then

	echo "CRIT - RAM usage is at ${RAMUSAGE}%"
	exit 2;

elif [ ${RAMUSAGE} -lt ${WARN} ]; then

	echo "OK - RAM usage is at ${RAMUSAGE}%"
	exit 0;

else

	echo "UNKNOWN - RAM usage"
	exit 3;

fi

Thanks abrist,

Please let me know one more thing, we need this plugin output without adding cache memory.

we need RAM utilization which is used by system without cache memory.

Please help me to achieve this with this check_aix_ram plugin or any other one.
