Is there an existing check disk plugin that can do the following:

- when a threshold has been met, only list the file systems in a warning/critical state
- if there are multiple file systems, display each one on a separate line

Thanks,

Jeff

Do you wish to monitor disk usage on Linux or Windows hosts?

Hi @ jh129666,

check_disk plugin checks the amount of used disk space on a mounted file system and generates an alert if free space is less than one of the threshold values

Here are details about the check_disk plugin...check_disk plugin usage
Looking at what you want to accomplish,the -A option in check command will be your best option.


Also,What operating system is the on host your are trying to monitor for disk?

The hosts being monitored are Linux and solaris. Here's an example notification for a linux host. I'd like the "Info" field to only list the file systems that are critical instead of listing all of them, and if there is more than one that's critical put each of them on a separate line (maybe it's not possible with check_disk).

@jh129666
I'd recommend this plugin from Nagios Exchange. It works the same way as check_disk but by default, it only outputs critical/warning paths.
