Changing disk utilization output

[mbrowning]

Is there a way that I can change how the disk utilization output is displayed. Currently our checks through snmp (check_snmp_storage.pl) will display in total MB used/free. Can I go into the config of the check_snmp_storage.pl and change that?

Looking at the help file you should be able to add the -T flag to change the calculation

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -h

SNMP Disk Monitor for Nagios version 1.3.3
(c)2004-2007 Patrick Proy
...

-T, --type=TYPE
   pl : calculate percent left
   pu : calculate percent used (Default)
   bl : calculate MegaBytes left
   bu : calculate MegaBytes used
...
Note :
  with T=pu or T=bu : OK < warn < crit
  with T=pl ot T=bl : crit < warn < OK

  If multiple storage are selected, the worse condition will be returned
  i.e if one disk is critical, the return is critical

How exactly do you want to change the output? Can't you find any options that you can use, instead of trying to modify the "check_snmp_storage.pl" file?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_storage.pl -h

For example, if you need to use GB, instead of MB, you can add a "-G" flag to the end of the command line.

yes would like to display the output in GB instead.

I tried adding in the -G but did not work.

Where did you add it? I just tested this
without -G

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_snmp_storage_wizard.pl -H 192.168.5.168  -C public --v2c -m "^/$" -w 80 -c 95 -f
/: 53%used(6141MB/11630MB) (<80%) : OK | '/'=6141MB;9304;11049;0;11630

with -G

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_snmp_storage_wizard.pl -H 192.168.5.168  -C public --v2c -m "^/$" -w 80 -c 95 -f -G
/: 53%used(6GB/11GB) (<80%) : OK | '/'=6GB;9;11;0;11

I dont see a check_snmp_storage_wizard.pl. The one that I am using is the check_snmp_storage.pl and does not seem to work with that.

[mbrowning]

I found that the version of the check_snmp_storage that I had was an older version. I updated to latest version of NagiosXI and I can now add in the -G and gives output in GB.

Thanks!
