Nagios Support Forum

Hi all,

I'm new to Nagios Core and need to change some disk space notification thresholds. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

Alex

Hi Mate

Depending on what machine you are monitoring for example localhost.cfg may have a section that looks like this

define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name Nagios_Host
service_description Root Partition
check_command check_local_disk!20%!10%!/
}


the 20% is the warning threshold and 10% critical

i monitor several windows boxes using NSclient++ with the below command as you can see -w (Warning) -c (Critical) are set accordingly warning at 80% full critical at 90% full
# Create a service for monitoring C:\ disk usage
# Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above

define service{
use generic-service
host_name Server1
service_description C:\ Drive Space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
}

if the above isnt help full maybe post a little config so i can see your setup im new my self but always happy to help when i can url get there in the end mate

Thanks for the reply. Do these screencaps help?

the w and the c are warning and critical the number will represent % for example warning at 80% full
