Nagios Support Forum

Hi
I am monitoring various Hosts & Services via NagiosXI. As one of the requirement I have to change the text being dispayed in the "Status Information" field.

Currently the "Status Information" text in NagiosXI displays the following:
C:\ - total: 49.90 Gb - used: 40.33 Gb (81%) - free 9.57 Gb (19%)

This has to be canged to"
Drive=C:\; total=49.90GB; used=40.33GB (81%); free=9.57GB (19%)

Similarly I have to change the text of all the hosts & services being monitored.
Pl. do let me know if this is possbile to configure & how ?

Sorry for the typo, have corrected now.

This is not possible. The plugin is reporting the true amount of space available in this case.. Are you looking to just change "C:\" to "Drive=C:\;"?

Free space on that drive is being reported as "40.33 Gb (81%) - free 9.57 Gb (19%)" Yet you would like it changed to "used=30.05GB (81%); free=19.85GB (19%)"? Is the check incorrectly reporting the true information??

How Do I do that ? Is this possible ?

Depending on the plugin, this can either be relatively easy or somewhat difficult. Either your plugin is interpreted (perl, python, bash, php) or compiled (c, c++). Either way, you will need to edit the source code in order to change how things are formatted. You could possibly write a wrapper plugin that calls the correct plugin, parses out the data, and reformats it. This all depends on your programming skills.
