Nagios Support Forum

Hi everyone, I have experience in Nagios Core, but I'm new NagiosXI and check_wmi_plus.pl

When I run checkmem in check_wmi_plus.pl, it returns a very large number (bytes) in the performance data. Is there a way to make the performance data a little more human readable eg GBytes? The number currently has so many digits that it does not fit on the graph.

Here is my check with fake host and credentials:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H myHost -u myDomain/myUser-p myPassword-m checkmem

Here is my output data from a real host:
OK - Physical Memory: Total: 31.879GB - Used: 3.995GB (13%) - Free: 27.884GB (87%)|'Physical Memory Used'=4289769472Bytes; 'Physical Memory Utilisation'=13%;

I'm figuring that check_wmi_plus must have a way of specifying the output format, or perhaps there is a way to configure the appearance in some graph settings somewhere.

Ideally, I'd like to see the red number listed above as approximately 4GB or 4000MB.

I've never come across this or noticed this before, but it looks to be an oversight in the plugin design, not only does it not specify a valid UOM per the guidelines
https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200
it also does not convert them into a higher denomination like you desire.

I am going to file a bug report and see if we can get this adjusted for a future release.

actually as I type this I see it is on the radar for version 1.64 of the plugin
