You can't report on Solaris caches without Sun::Solaris::Kstat available!

Have you installed Sun::Solaris::Kstat?

It appears as though the plugin polls this for the required information.

Hi ,
Thanks your reply , then may I know how to installed Sun::Solaris::Kstat ?
but I 'm fine to run with no "-C" option as folowing so I m not sure Sun::Solaris::Kstat whether installed or not.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.pl -w 10 -c 5 -f
CRITICAL - 0.0% (1560 kB) free!|TOTAL=100663295KB;;;; USED=100661735KB;;;; FREE=

appreciate if reply as soon , I require fix it as soon.

Are you running this check through nrpe or another like-agent? Sun::Solaris::Kstat is installed by default on Solaris boxes, but you need to run the plugin script locally from the solaris box, not from the xi server. This will require an agent.

Hi Abrist ,

The plugin is run on local server (Nagios agent installed) not from Nagios server , so no ideal why onnot able to run -C option (Count OS caches as FREE memory\n";) on the server , then it is fine to run -C option on other same OS server with same check_mem.pl plugin, I attach the check_mem.pl for this post .
I really need to fix it as soon.

Thanks in advance
Kenny
