Red Hat NRPE Memory Check Not showing %

I have 6 Red Hat Servers all built the same and the nrpe agent installed the same way. I looked at the configuration file and libexex directory and everything appears to be the same both with user and permissions. When I run
Code: Select all
./check_nrpe -H <host1> -c check_mem -a '-w 20 -c 10'
I get the results I would expect OK - 8665 / 11911 MB (72%) Free Memory, Used: 8027 MB, Shared: 0 MB, Buffers: 304 MB, Cached: 4781 MB | total=11911MB free=8665MB used=8027MB shared=0 buffers=304MB cached=4781MB
When I run the same command on one of the 3 "faulty" RHEL servers I get this - CRITICAL - 10581 / 11911 MB (%) Free Memory, Used: 1851 MB, Shared: 0 MB, Buffers: 40 MB, Cached: 521 MB | total=11911MB free=10581MB used=1851MB shared=0 buffers=40MB cached=521MB and the check is the same
Code: Select all
./check_nrpe -H <host2> -c check_mem -a '-w 20 -c 10'
Trying to figure out why I have 3 out of 7 machines that don't want to show the percentage but just %?

On the "failing" clients (remote machines), run the following command:
Let me know if this fixed your issue.

Package bc-1.06.95-1.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Still the same problem

If you have "bc" installed, you should also have "dc", which is used by the "custom_check_mem". What is the output of the following commands, run on the remote machines? Place the output in code wraps.
Code: Select all
which dc
which sed
which gawk
cat /usr/local/nagios/libexec/custom_check_mem

Can you try running the following command on the remote box?
Did this fix the issue?
Test it locally (on the client):
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/custom_check_mem -w 20 -c 10

I am not sure what happened, maybe time thing, but these are now reporting the % and not at a critical state.
Bug maybe? It is working correctly now and I did nothing.

Interesting. It started working on all three of your affected boxes at the same time?

Not sure if it was exactly the same time but over the weekend they must have started working because I looked at them this Monday morning and they are reporting with the % so I ran the command from the Nagios XI server itself and it shows 73% whereas before it was just showing %
Weird stuff but I am glad it wasn't nothing major but only happened on these 3 hosts running Red Hat.

Glad it's working, are you OK with us locking the topic?
