check_nrpe check_mem error no percentage output

[samuel]

I started monitoring a turnkey server based on debian. All of the other checks return just fine, but the memory usage is always at warning levels even when it is above the threshold. I think it is because the percentage isn't outputting.

Here is the output.

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.149.149.15 -t 30 -c check_mem -a '-w 20 -c 10'
OUTPUT: WARNING - 72 / 1010 MB (%) Free Memory, Used: 938 MB, Shared: 0 MB, Buffers: 347 MB, Cached: 518 MB | total=1010MB free=72MB used=938MB shared=0 buffers=347MB cached=518MB

It should be on Critical right now.

You will need to make sure the remote servver had the dc package installed.

What is the dc package? I installed nagios-agent_1.0-2ppa2_all.deb on it. I just followed the pdf. http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

[samuel]

All of the other servers I am monitoring are working just fine. I used the same pdf to install the client on the others. The other services on this machine are running fine as well

Have you installed the bc package to its most up to date version and tried running the command through shell again?:

yum install bc

The dc package fixed it. Thanks for your help.
