Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I was asked to pull some information from Nagios regarding memory on a few Solaris 10 servers we have and when I run a report no graphs or data is showing up for our Solaris servers. I can create graphs and see data values for the Linux servers but not for any of the Solaris servers.

I've added a screenshot of what I'm seeing for our Solaris servers.

--Berto

Can you go to that same service and provide a screen capture of the Advanced Tab?
What we need to see is if the check is returning Performance Data and that it is formatted correctly.

I have attached a screenshot of the advanced tab.

The performance data isn't correct from what I see, none of the values have any valid data except MB which will not graph.
Here is an example of what it should look like. Can you post which plugin you are using and the configurations for that service so we can review it?

For our Solaris servers I used the Solaris wizard and took the defaults from the wizard, so not exactly sure which plugin(s) get used, is there a way I can check? I add the service configuration file from one of the Solaris servers along with a screenshot of the wizard I used.

Can you execute this command on your Nagios XI server in an SSH session and paste back the result:
Can you also provide the command definition from your solaris server. If will be in the file nrpe.cfg or common.cfg, the line will start with:
command[check_mem]

This is the output from the Nagios server

OK - / MB (stack
stack
100%) Free Memory, Used: MB, Shared: MB | total=MB free=MB used=MB shared=MB

Looking in the nrpe.cfg on the Solaris servers I don't see a check command for check_mem, this is what I see;

# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...

#command[check_users]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
#command[check_load]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
#command[check_hda1]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/hda1
#command[check_zombie_procs]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
#command[check_total_procs]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200

I looked at one of our Linux servers to see if the nrpe.cfg on it had a command for check_mem but it didn't either yet I can see a graph from our Linux servers.

I'm pretty sure the command will be defined in common.cfg and it'll be in a subfolder called nrpe (where the nrpe.cfg lives).

I think it is:
If thats the case, what is the output of executing this command on your solaris server:

This is what I get back from the Solaris server and I also don't see a common.cfg file in /etc/nagios as this is where the nrpe.cfg is located.

# /opt/nagios/libexec/custom_check_mem -w 30 -c 10

Please run this command on the Solaris server and paste the output:
It looks like the G in the 16G is causing a problem, the plugin will need to be updated, send that info and we should be able to get it functioning.


Thank you
