DFS monitoring in Nagios XI

[keerthiprashanths]

Hello Team,

We have currently some disks where Nagios is not monitoring which do not have drive letters assigned and hence we have a risk of having disk space related outage for such systems.

Currently we are monitoring only the disks which have drive letters.

So can you please help us how to monitor the disk drive that are without the drive letters?

Hello, keerthiprashanths, are these drives or partitions mounted in the filesystem rather than allocated drive letters? How are they being accessed for I/O operations?

[keerthiprashanths]

Hi bolson,

Yes, the drives have NTFS mount points & are used for SQL DBs storage. In SQL configuration the DB file paths are defined using these NTFS mount points.

Hello keerthiprashanths,

Can you tell me which plugin you're using to check the DFS?

[keerthiprashanths]

Hello Team,

We are not using any plugin and we have changed the subject too.

So would request you to please provide us with the document for the same.

This link may provide the solution you're looking for:

See this snippet:

To check the size of a mounted volume (c:\volume_test) and make sure it has 1M free space warn if free space is less then 10M::

check_drivesize "crit=free<1M" "warn=free<10M" drive=c:\\volume_test
C:: Total: 74.5G - Used: 71.2G (95%) - Free: 3.28G (5%) < critical,C:;5%;10;5;
