Check disk load?

[psyllex]

Hi I'm trying to check - "DISK LOAD-BANDWIDTH TO DISK IN MYBYTES WRITTEN/READ". I've looked on the Wizard and there is a Load under Ubuntu Server, is that what I'm looking for? Or is there something else maybe under SNMP or whatever?

[slansing]

That load check will be for the entire systems load, what type of OS are you looking to run this check against? For instance.. if it were a windows server you could monitor this using the built in, windows performance counters.

[psyllex]

This is on 3 ubuntu servers and one windows IIS server.

It looks like this may suite your needs for the Ubuntu servers:

And for the Windows servers I would recommend using performance counters, do you have any experience integrating them into Nagios Xi?

[psyllex]

alright....is there some good documentation on how to figure how how to run the commands? I keep getting:

Code: Select all

Error: Could not register service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/check_diskio.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!

The problem is there isn't really any place (that I've seen) that teaches you about the command line parameters. For example I have no idea how many bad sectors should be critical, how many should constitute a warning. This isn't a problem with Nagios but just in general...it's like all the network admins got together and hid the knowledge in the backyard or something...lol.

As far as deciding on what bad sectors you want to warn on that would have be to something you decide on unfortunately. Since it all depends on your environment and your drives.

This check must be misconfigured. Run the Write Config Tool, and show the output:

Code: Select all

CCM->Tools->Write Config Files->Write->Verify

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files... 

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid 
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous 
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions 
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read 
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the 
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

This is your error. You need to set the directives " Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, and notification_interval" in XI for the service check 'Check Disk I/O' on host '10.10.0.100' before you can apply configuration.
