Check_Pagefile using Check_NRPE

Post by Matthew.Cary »

I am using check_nrpe to monitor a half dozen different services on various Windows Server via the client. This mostly works great.

However, the check_pagefile command isn't returning Performance Data and therefore doesn't generate any Performance Data Graphs. I get results on the check, just not performance data.

The other commands like check_drivesize and check_cpu are working just fine.

Is there something different about check_pagefile or do I more likely have a problem with my config?

What is the exact command that is being run? Running it with a simple:

./check_nrpe -H <host_ip> -c check_pagefile

should do the trick.

I am running the check exactly as you show & I am getting *results*. I can see how much of the pagefile is in use, but the "Performance Data" section is empty.
My understanding is that this is where the data that populates the graphs is pulled from, so as long as it's empty I don't end up with any performance graphs.

You're correct regarding where graphs get their data from. Do you see perfdata returned if you run the test button on the config page or run the command directly on the command line? Perfdata would be the data to the right of the | in the results of the test/cli. Also, what version of nsclient++ is the Windows machine running?
