Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

We dont have root access to the server, I ran the command as nagios user and got below output":

PRODUCTION> nagios@eu1pdwu094: /usr/local/nagios/libexec > /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.pl -f -w 20 -c 10
Memory CRITICAL - 0.0% (0 kB) free
PRODUCTION> nagios@eu1pdwu094: /usr/local/nagios/libexec >


PRODUCTION> nagios@eu1pdwu094: /usr/local/nagios/libexec > uname -a
AIX eu1pdwu094 1 7 00C5D92F4C00


We downloaded the plugin from below link:

https://github.com/justintime/nagios-plugins


Can we go for some other plugin if this plugin is not working here?
I just want to monitor physical memory usage on this server at the earliest, please suggest.

The copy of the plugin you are running, the following command is ran from the perl script to gather the data for the calculations. Can you login to the AIX server and run it and post the full output here?

The output of the plugin on your AIX server for some reason does not match the plugin from that site. Can you get the plugin from the server and upload it here?

Hello,

PFA the plugin from the server.

The plugin that is posted looks like it was truncated and is missing most of the code.
I would re-download the plugin and verify that the whole plugin was downloaded and see if that works.

Hello,

Thanks for checking that.
Let me know if you have any update on it.

What update are you waiting for?
What I posted earlier is that the plugin is missing most of the code and you will have to download the plugin again and re-install it on the server.
