Nagios Support Forum

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am using Nagiosxi 2012.R2.2 version and monitoring mutiple domain(AIX/Linux/Windows/Network/Storage/Mail/Url) etc. I have two Linux server one for Application(EMSNagios1) and another for Databases(EMSNagios2).

ISSUE: EMSNagios2 server is showing up high physical memory utilization. However, this is NAGIOS DB sever, memory usage will be more in business hours and auto calls are being logged for this issue along with backup jobs scheduled which post business hours also contributing in huge number of calls in E-helpline.

Hence it is suggested to have this parameter disabled for WARNING and increase the threshold value for CRITICAL from 90% to 95%. Current warning value is 80% and critical value is 90% . I am using check_nrpe plugins to check physical memory of my NAGIOS DB server.

Here is the command: $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$. So please tell me how to disable warning and increase critical threshold value.
Kindly suggest me the steps to resolve this issue.please find the service definition cgf file and service management and host management console.

Thanks in advance.

To change the thresholds to what you need, go in to the Core Config Manager > Services and find your service.
Edit is and on the Common Settings tab, by default the thresholds are in the $ARG2$ field. Edit those to your liking.
If you want to disable the Notifications for Warnings, click on the Alert Settings tab and uncheck the "w" box in the notification options.
Save it out and Apply the Configuration.
If you have any more questions, let us know.
