Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have a problem to monitor the network mapped drive. It shows an error " Free disk space : Invalid drive "
I'm using check_nt. It works in other systems with local drives, but not for the network mapped drive.

define command{
command name check_nt
command_line $USER1$/ check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -t 60 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}


define service{
use generic-service
host_name ABC123
service_description N:\ Drive Space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE! -1 n -w 80 -c 90
}

Anyone can help please?

check_nt/nsclient cannot check network mounted drives, only local volumes. Check the NAS itself with snmp.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.

What do you mean by "check the NAS itself with snmp" ?
Is NAS or snmp a plugin for Nagios?
any Nagios configuration (command) for this? Appreciate if you can provide the details.

I've tried with check_nrpe and it still unsucessful..

What type of system/networking hardware servers the network shares that you are trying to check?

It is one of the folder in our netapp filer.

eg. \\filer01\folderABC

When I map this folderABC in my server, server123 and choose a drive letter as Z:\
And it becomes like Z:\folderABC (from \\filer01)

Take a look at the exchange, there are a few netapp plugins. You could also just check the values with snmp if you know the mib/oid fro the metrics you wish to check. Datasheets/mibs from the manufacturer helps.

Thanks for your info.. appreciate it..

but i have doubt.. for now, what should I actually monitor / check ? the netapp filer01 or the folderABC inside the netapp?

and, i have no idea what is mid/oid.

These types of checks will require some knowledge of snmp:
