Hi,

I install a Nagios XI agent on linux and I specified all the filesystem to Nagios XI. After 2 week someone add a new filesystem and Nagios XI don't monitor that new filesystem.
It's possible to automatic add new filesystem to Nagios XI.

Magic..

Thank you!!

I'd like to help, but need to gather a bit more information about this -

- Are you running an individual check for each filesystem or multiple checks?
- What wizard did you use to set this up?
- What type of check is this running?

I use the Linux Wizard. When I follow the wizard I have to add each filesystem I want to check.

I use check_nrpe.

Can you explain how I can check filesystem.

Thank you!

Adding new filesystem checks won't be automatic (magic). :) However, you can run:

Code: Select all

df -h
on the remote server.

Examine the output, and decide what you need to monitor. Rerun the Linux Server wizard.
If you used the same hostname, the wizard would just add the new service to the existing host (wouldn't create a new host).
