negate with check_nt and check_uptime

[rickb]

I am trying to setup a check to see when a server has been up to long on both windows and linux. I have tried the check_uptime and check_uptime_snmp but looks like it is backwards from what I need. I have tried the negate with the check scripts but it does not seem to be flipping the status.

I made a new command using the negate and ran the following but still get the wrong status code. Am I missing something or does the negate not work on this? I have tried the included check_uptime with in XI and the one from the nagios exchange with the same results.

check_nt

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./negate ./check_nt -H 10.100.100.10 -s "Password1234" -p 12489 -v UPTIME -w 13500
System Uptime - 9 day(s) 1 hour(s) 26 minute(s) |uptime=13046
[root@localhost libexec]# echo $?
1
[root@localhost libexec]# 
 

Help would be appreciated.

negate generally tweaks -c, not -w. You can adjust that behavior as you see fit:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_nt -H winbox -s "nsclient" -p 12489 -v UPTIME -w 13500
System Uptime - 5 day(s) 23 hour(s) 35 minute(s) |uptime=8615
[root@localhost libexec]# echo $?
1
[root@localhost libexec]# ./negate -w OK ./check_nt -H winbox -s "nsclient" -p 12489 -v UPTIME -w 13500
System Uptime - 5 day(s) 23 hour(s) 35 minute(s) |uptime=8615
[root@localhost libexec]# echo $?
0

Those examples don't seem to be working other then

Code: Select all

./negate ./check_nt -H winbox -s "nsclient" -p 12489 -v UPTIME -c 13500

but we don't want it to be critical just a warning. Any other suggestions?

Take a look at this link for setting up thresholds and see if it helps out with what you need.
