Alert levels

Post by jriker1 »

When you set a plugin to warn on 90% and critical on 95%, should it actually warn at 90% or should it warn at 91%? This is not an out of the box plugin so will modify what the author did based on what the standard plugins do.

Thanks.

That all depends on how the plugin is coded.

It might do a "greater than" or a "greater than or equal to" test against the threshold.

Nagios does not care, all it needs is a results and an exit code.
