Statistics for drive space etc are screwed up for Servers

[billperrotta]

Some of my servers are monitoring statistics on the server correctly and some are not.

This is one that is not correctly monitoring. See below

How and Where can I troubleshoot this issue?

It looks like you are either using check_nt or check_nrpe to check this windows system correct? Could you post a service definition for one of your failing services? And the command it is using from commands.cfg? When running the command manually from the command line does it still return the 'Could not fetch' error?

See my commands.cfg below

Are you running nsclient with or without a password?
You disk check fails, but no password is defined. The load check works, so could you post the config for that check?

CPU Load

[billperrotta]

Sorry if I sound stupid. But I'm extremely new to this.

Which file contains that info so I can vi it and paste it here.

don't think it is using a password but i took over for another admin who is no longer here, so I wouldn't be able to tell you.

hopefully you can help me figure it out.

[slansing]

It would have been set up when you installed NSClient, it will be located on the remote system, in the nsc/nsclient.ini file, in nsclient's installation directory.

[billperrotta]

Here is the nsclient.ini below. this is on the server where the hard disks are coming up unknow.

Code: Select all

# If you want to fill this file with all avalible options run the following command:
#   nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
#   nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help

Could you also post one of your nsclient.ini/nsc.ini that is working please? I don't see an alias for useddiskize in this config, however the nsclient man pages don't seem to indicate that it is needed, so I would just like to confirm against one of your working configs.
