Nagios Support Forum

i would like to monitor my AIX server disk usage by size using NRPE but i am receiving false alerts

here the sample of /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects


define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name entest
service_description Tmp Partition
check_command check_nrpe!check_disk '-a -c98% -u GB /tmp' -n
#notification_interval 10
#contact_groups Aix admins
}

define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name entest
service_description tmp Partition
check_command check_nrpe!check_disk '-a -w95% -u GB /tmp' -n


can you please help to monitor my filesystem by disk and space

Please also show us how check_nrpe is defined, and also how check_disk is defined on the client machine in the NRPE configuration.

Based on how you have it defined here, you're passing invalid options. You'll want to adjust it to something like - That way everything populates correctly. Right now, what you're passing is everything in $ARG1$ which ignores the -c and -p.

can you please tell me how to pass the arguments correctly for the check disk values .with the values that will be helpful.

As you said i have passed the parameters and iam still getting alerts

command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
check_command check_nrpe!check_disk '-w95% - c98% - p /tmp'

please let me know if i am passing arguments incorrectly

Based on how you have it defined here, you're passing invalid options. You'll want to adjust it to something like -

Code: Select all

check_command check_nrpe!check_disk -a "arg1" "arg2" "arg3"

That way everything populates correctly. Right now, what you're passing is everything in $ARG1$ which ignores the -c and -p.

See what I posted above. '-w95% - c98% - p /tmp' is not correct because you've already passed -w and -c in your NRPE definition.

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did @rkennedy's post clear things up or has the issue otherwise been resolved?
