Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I am a newbie to nagios and we are using it from last one year but never had a chance to dig it properly , now from a week I am getting very high alert on CPU usage for one server

this is a dual core 2 CPU
and the parameter I have used is

define service{
use generic-service
host_name ASP_DB_SERV
service_description CPU Load
check_command check_nrpe!check_load!7.0,6.0,5.0!10.0,6.0,4.0

}

, Can you please help me is this setup is ok , and if I ma getting the alert are they actual CPU load or I have configured it wrong ,
I have doubt about it because my other monitor dose not alert me as nagios is doing

That seems like a reasonable configuration on the surface. You might try running the command directly - see http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.ph ... mmand-line . Are you actually using XI, or Core?

not sure , core or XI how to figure out ?

If you're using Nagios XI, it's an enterprise version and you would be paying for it

Those seem like reason level for a CPU Load check. If those thresholds are being exceeded then I would say there might actually be an issue. Are you wanting the thresholds to be higher or do you want the notifications turned off? Can you clarify on where your problem exists?
