Hello,

My understanding of BPI is that I can set a warning and critical thresholds, below which the BPI group will generate events, if coupled with a BPI service check.

At present, we have a set of services running on one host out of 3, so the critical threshold is set to 30% and this has been tested and it works brilliantly.

However, I need to make sure that these same services do not run on more than one host at a time. Is there a way to set up BPI so that we will get a Critical at below 30% and above 34%?

Thank you

Not currently, you may be able to get around it by creating another service that utilizes the check_cluster plugin:

Hello,

Based on my understanding of the check_cluster, the logic is the same as for BPI, you can define a less-than threshold, but not greater than.

I would appreciate it if you can raise a feature request for a future version to add this functionality into BPI. Even if the cluster plugin could work, the process of getting a NagiosCore plugin out of github into an enterprise tool really does not appeal.

Thank you.

Can you show us the actual command that you are running along with the output of it?

You could probably use "x:" (<x) for your thresholds in order to solve the issue... Read more about thresholds and ranges here:
