Linux NRPE Memory Monitoring

[kiddbios]

The default XI wizard sets up a memory monitor, but it seems to only monitor physical memory and not calculate the free physical+cached, so it is in a perpetual alarm state. Is there a better way to configure this?

Thank you,

Brad

This is based on the default plugin used.

If you make the following modification to line 59 of
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/custom_check_mem on the remote machine

Code: Select all

memoutput=`free -t -m | head -5 | tail -1`

Thank you. What is the name of the service I need to restart to get that to take effect?

Thanks,

Brad

You don't, just need to change the file on each remote machine you are monitoring.
