Number of CPU cores with CPULOAD (nsclient)

[dlukinski]

Hello Nagios Team

How to report number of CPU cores with check_xi_service_nsclient ?

Thank you

You should be able to do this with a powershell script. You'll need to create it, and then modify your nsclient configuration to include that external script as a command.

Here's the one liner powershell script. Create a file called check_cpu_cores.ps1 and place it in the C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\powershell\ directory.

Code: Select all

Get-WmiObject -class Win32_processor | findstr NumberOfCores

Once you've created the file, open up your nsclient configuration and look for -

Code: Select all

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]

below that, add -

Code: Select all

;check_cpu_cores external script
check_cpu_cores = cmd /c echo scripts\powershell\check_cpu_cores.ps1; exit(0) | powershell.exe -command -

At this point you should be able to use the check_cpu_cores script. See an example output below -

Code: Select all

[root@suse11 libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.47 -c check_cpu_cores
NumberOfCores               : 4

Thank you, so either that or SNMP (which provides Cores information)
- we could now close this one.
