Nagios Support Forum

I have uploaded the screenshot and when navigating to "/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/<hostname>/", I don't see any of the mentioned files.

You have two problems:

1)
On your screenshot there is nothing in the "Performance Data" field, this is why you are not getting graphs.

Code: Select all

[lnsvr0370]:(584/0)-$ ssh abeltr01@susvr0215 /opt/nagios/libexec/check_smb_status.sh
Total Users/Process:     110 Total Machines:     108 Total Files:     715

That example output does not have any performance data, performance data is everything after the pipe symbol | .

Here is an example of me executing it on a remote CentOS system:
ssh nagios@centos01 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smb_status_original.sh
Total Users/Process:0 Total Machines:0 Total Files:0 |Total Users/Process=0 Total Machines=0 Total Files=0

You can see the highlighted information is the performance data.

Based on your screenshot, this is a Solaris server. I know some commands in Solaris work differently so I suspect you are going to need to spend some time with the commands in the script to see if they are outputting the correct information.

2)
The performance data output by the plugin (from my tests) is not correctly formatted.
|Total Users/Process=0 Total Machines=0 Total Files=0
The datasources have spaces, hence they need to be enclosed in single quotes, like:

|'Total Users/Process'=0 'Total Machines'=0 'Total Files'=0

I think line 87 of the plugin should be:
https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200

The graph is now working, thanks a lot! This can be closed.
