NCPA Disk counters (All Instances)

Post by swackle »

We have switched to NCPA and would like some Disk counters to use (All Instance) as we did on Nsclient++ and it then returned data on all disk precent.
Are there any way to do this with the NCPA or is it not a possibility.
Can only get it to return data using _Total (*) og specific disk, argument being used is: -M 'windowscounters/LogicalDisk(C:)/Disk Bytes/sec' -q sleep=1

Hi @swackle,

NCPA can check disk used and disk free space (percentage) and check disk performance data.

Let us know if this works and if there is anything else we can help you with.

Have no issues getting the counters out, problem is that if I have 4 drives C:, D:, E: and F: I need to make four services, instead of being able to use <All instance> and then one service returns data of all drives like it is possible to do nsclient++.

At the moment that's correct. using NCPA results in individual Nagios services, one for each drive. This is a result of how NCPA reports that data in a more granular manner than nsclient++ did.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
