Memory error

Post by keerthiprashanths »

Hi team,

We are using Nagios XI in our environment. We added a server and configured memory service to monitor memory for Linux. Checked and found that it is throwing an error as "critical" even though the server has sufficient amount of memory available.

Attaching is the screenshot.

Please help me the same.

You are missing the number (value) in front of the % sing... What is the OS of the remote machine (client)? Most probably you are missing a package. I can't remember if it was "bc" or "dc". One of these two. You can try running the following commands on the client:

On RHEL/CentOS

Code: Select all

yum install dc bc
On Debian/Ubuntu

Code: Select all

apt-get install dc bc
Let us know if this fixed the issue.

In the check command, for example:

Code: Select all

-w 20% -c 10%
And the percent sign is optional.
