NRPE: Command 'CheckDriveSize' not defined

[nky1986]

Hi,
I have setup nagios xi 2012 r.1.

i have installed nrpe agent on a centos machine.

when i am trying to monitor that centos machine then i am getting error:
NRPE: Command 'CheckDriveSize' not defined
NRPE: Command 'checkCPU' not defined
NRPE: Command 'checkMem' not defined

i have checked nrpe command from command line:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 172.30.54.29 -p 5666 -c CheckDriveSize -a CheckAllOthers MinWarn=20G MinCrit=10G Volume=System Reserved

then also same error

on the client machine open the NSC.ini and uncomment these lines

Code: Select all

FileLogger.dll
CheckSystem.dll
CheckDisk.dll
CheckEventLog.dll
CheckHelpers.dll
CheckExternalScripts.dll

Then restart the NSClient service

where is this file in centos machine

[slansing]

Use the following:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -c check_disk -a '-w 20% -c 10%'

the xxx's being filled by the target IP address.

checkDriveSize is the alias for a NSClient++ check for windows NRPE monitoring, those will not be the same for a linux agent.

For memory:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -c check_mem -a '-w 20 -c 10'

Etc..

to check load:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H Host-IP -c check_load -a '-w 15 -c 30'

[nky1986]

[scottwilkerson]

to check load:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H Host-IP -c check_load -a '-w 15 -c 30'

could you tell me what is this load and what are these numbers

These are the machine load, over the last 1, 5, 15 minutes

could anybody let me know, how to monitor cpu using nrpe on linux client

Use the previous plugin.

You can also use check_cpu_stats to monitor CPU load and warn on high IO Wait %

G'day Guys,

I had the same problem when:

1. Ran "Monitoring Wizard"

2. Selected "Monitor a remote Linux/Unix server using NRPE."

if however I:

1. Ran "Monitoring Wizard"

2. Selected "Monitor a remote Linux server".

I didn't have the problem.

Correct. There is a generic linux wizard, which should be used for new monitoring situations. The NRPE wizard is in place for people with existing Nagios Core installations and are migrating over to XI.
