# State - Unable to see it #

[ashok]

Hi All,

for a Unix production server..for memory used

I am unable to see the output state like OK,Warning,Critical.

It is displaying full details correctly but the state of the memory is not printed at the beginning..

host1 is correctly displaying as CRITICAL - <Info>

host2 is not displaying the state ... i'm getting the output as - <info>

I have replaced the plugin used for check_mem in the remote server with a well working one. but no use.

[root@nagxi ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H host1 -p 5666 -c check_mem -a '-w 75 -c 90'

CRITICAL - Memory usage: total:65505 MB - used:62410 MB(95.27500%) - free:3095 MB(4.72500%);Top 5 Memory Processes(memKB,pname,pid): 465041KB dw.sapRP2_D21 20048, 84980KB dw.sapRP2_D21 20070, 83078KB dw.sapRP2_D20 17148, 82992KB dw.sapRP2_D20 266, 82622KB dw.sapRP2_D21 17474|Memory usage=62410MB;49128.75;58954.50;0;65505

Very strange. What happens both on host1 and host2 when you run the command defined by check_mem on the command line? Can you post those commands along with their outputs?

Some times it is showing the status. but some times it is not...

Sounds like there are issues on that server making system calls. Do you get the same results when running check_mem manually on the host with troubles? Do you only have this on 2 hosts? If not, are other hosts experiencing this issue? Sounds like host1 is fine, which is another indicator that there may be issues on the actual host2 server.
