Exclude device nrpe Linux disk check

[jkinning]

I am running this command

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H <host> -c check_disk -a '-w 5% -c 3%'

which includes all mount points but this also includes the /dev whcih I want to exclude. I've tried to exclude this in the check by trying to include -x /dev but that doesn't work. I want to check all the mount points per system which again this check appears to work if I can remove specific mount points like /dev.

Is there a better, more efficient, check to use to accomplish what I am trying to do? I would like a single check to check all the mount points and notify when a mount point reaches the desired limit.

-X accepts type, not name:

Code: Select all

[jdalrymple@localhost /usr/local/libexec/nagios]$ ./check_disk -w 20% -c 10%
DISK CRITICAL - free space: / 29153 MB (98% inode=99%); /dev 0 MB (0% inode=-); /mnt/nfs1 764355 MB (80% inode=99%); /pool0 764355 MB (99% inode=99%); <snip>
[jdalrymple@localhost /usr/local/libexec/nagios]$ ./check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -X devfs
DISK OK - free space: / 29153 MB (98% inode=99%); /mnt/nfs1 764355 MB (80% inode=99%); /pool0 764355 MB (99% inode=99%); <snip>

Ok, once again I am doing something wrong.

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H <host> -c check_disk -a '-w 5% -c 3%' -X devfs
./check_nrpe: invalid option -- 'X'

NRPE Plugin for Nagios
Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Ethan Galstad ([email protected])
Version: 2.15
Last Modified: 09-06-2013
License: GPL v2 with exemptions (-l for more info)
SSL/TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required

Usage: check_nrpe -H <host> [ -b <bindaddr> ] [-4] [-6] [-n] [-u] [-p <port>] [-t <timeout>] [-c <command>] [-a <arglist...>]

Options:
 -n         = Do no use SSL
 -u         = Make socket timeouts return an UNKNOWN state instead of CRITICAL
 <host>     = The address of the host running the NRPE daemon
 <bindaddr> = bind to local address
 -4         = user ipv4 only
 -6         = user ipv6 only
 [port]     = The port on which the daemon is running (default=5666)
 [timeout]  = Number of seconds before connection times out (default=10)
 [command]  = The name of the command that the remote daemon should run
 [arglist]  = Optional arguments that should be passed to the command.  Multiple
              arguments should be separated by a space.  If provided, this must be
              the last option supplied on the command line.

Note:
This plugin requires that you have the NRPE daemon running on the remote host.
You must also have configured the daemon to associate a specific plugin command
with the [command] option you are specifying here.  Upon receipt of the
[command] argument, the NRPE daemon will run the appropriate plugin command and
send the plugin output and return code back to *this* plugin.  This allows you
to execute plugins on remote hosts and 'fake' the results to make Nagios think
the plugin is being run locally.

You will need to wrap all of your arguments in quotes. Please give the following a try:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.x.x -c check_disk -a '-w 20% -c 10% -X devfs'

[jkinning]

I was able to use the -x /dev -x /dev/shm to exclude these after surrounding the entire command in quotes.
