Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am trying to monitor the file system usage in the Linux environment but not able to figure out the usage of the right syntax.

Below is one of the example where the usage is 99% but still getting the result as Disk ok.. Ideally i need to get the critical alert when the disk usage is above 95%.

[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 1Xx.xx.Xxx.1xx -t 30 -c check_disk -a '/app/testjpl -w 10 -c 5'
DISK OK - free space: /app/testjpl 52 MB (1% inode=99%);| /app/testjpl=4602MB;;;0;4911

I believe the path should be at the end. Try the following:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 1Xx.xx.Xxx.1xx -t 30 -c check_disk -a '-w 10% -c 5% /app/testjpl'

I have tried with that option also but in spite of 98% usage, the disk still shows as ok.


[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 1X.x.xx.xx -t 30 -c check_disk -a '-w 10% -c 5% /app'
DISK OK - free space: /app 47504 MB (98% inode=98%);| /app=618MB;45241;47754;0;50268

According to the plugin's output, you should have 98% free space on /app... Can you run the following commands on the remote machine and show the output?
Note: Modify the path to the check_disk plugin if it's different on your system.

@lmiltchev : I was reading the output wrong it worked for me after putting the path at the end of the command. Thank you all for your help.

Great! I am glad your issue has been resolved! I will be closing this topic now. If you have any more questions/issues, please start a new thread.
