Problem with NRPE

[benningtonr]

And this one does not look right.

Memory Usage Warning 26d 19h 55m 46s 5/5 2012-07-30 11:40:00 WARNING - 3728 / 7810 MB (%) Free Memory, Used: 4082 MB, Shared: 0 MB, Buffers: 699 MB, Cached: 2718 MB

also what is a good number for processes?

we have 269 and it says critical, but the box is not loaded.

This is going to depend on your environment, every server is different. You can change the warning or critical levels to be numbers you are comfortable with for the server.

ok, i wasn't sure, I will change the limits.

I still have the other two issues to look at

This looks like you are missing a package required on the remote machine that is used to calculate the percentage.

the package is dc
on a centos or RHEL it is part of the bc package

Code: Select all

yum install bc -y

ubuntu might be something like

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bc

[benningtonr]

I have been informed that BC is already installed on this machine.

[scottwilkerson]

Is this the Ubuntu machine? It might stand on its own there
run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dc

[benningtonr]

yes, it is an ubuntu machine

[benningtonr]

what is dc?

[agriffin]

dc stands for desktop calculator. It's just a small command line calculator required as a dependency.

[benningtonr]

ok, i will have him check,
Thanks
