Syntax to submit nsclient++ check_drivesize with nrpe

[awilson]

Hi. We have been using the check_nt protocol to submit nsclient++ checks. I'm trying to use nrpe instead, but I'm not having success getting nrpe to use the parameters. The check_nrpe command is configured as follows:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$

I tried:

-a '-p ##### check_drivesize "warn=free<20% crit=free<10%" drive=*'

in $ARG1$ leaving $ARG2$ blank and I get:

Incorrect command line arguments supplied

Is there an obvious error?

Thanks.

The example command that you have shown is not formatted correctly and that is generating the errors.

What you would need to do is just put in the command in the $ARG1$ field and in the $ARG2$ field, you would put in the arguments required for the command.

For the drive check, you would put this in the $ARG1$ field.

Code: Select all

check_drivesize

And in the $ARG2$ field, you would put in all of the following to test the drive C free space.

Code: Select all

-a drive=C: 'warning=free<20%' 'critical=free<10%' show-all 'perf-config=*(unit:G)' detail-syntax='{${drive_or_name} ${free_pct}% free / ${size} total}' top-syntax='${status}: ${problem_list}'

This will generate an alert on the following.

Warning: 10% Free
Critical: 5% Free

This example came from the following KB article.

Take a look at it for more details.
