check_nt useddiskspace

[jbushee]

I am new to Nagios.
Have it set up to monitor about 60 Windows systems, and email alerts are working.
Problem is repeated alerts about disk space.
Am I able to configure check_nt useddiskspace check so it runs daily, or twice daily, rather than every few minutes?

Thanks!

Sure, take a look at your service definition and change the check_interval to 1440 (1day) or 720 (12 hrs). This will have it only check once a day.

Another option, is to turn the notification_interval to 0, which will cause only one notification to trigger, rather then every x minutes.

Thanks RK

I'll take a look when I get back to the office

Let us know if you have anymore questions.

Only thing, before I get to work to test, is if I can make the change globally for all USEDDISKSPACE commands and not just the check_nt definition. We use a separate cfg file for each server, some having several drives, others having 2.

If you used a template for that service check, you could edit the template but if you didn't, you would have to edit each entry.

Thanks all

Have my immediate issue taken care of. As I get more familiar with Linux and Nagios, I'll pretty it up some.

Are we alright to close this thread then?
