Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Kindly let us know, does NCPA agent auto detects all the drives and files systems present on Windows and AIX/LINUX servers respectively on it own and monitor them?

Or we have to configure them manually as we do it for NRPE and NSClient++.

Also let us know for each file system on a server will NCPA create a different service in Nagios or all file systems will be monitored under single service for single server?

In Nagios Core, you would have to set up these checks manually. In Nagios XI, you could run the NCPA wizard, which would discover the file systems/drives for you. Keep in mind that some of the file system types are excluded by default in the ncpa.cfg file's directives.

Example: You could modify the entry above and remove some of the file system types from the excluded list. You could even use: in order to discover ALL of the fs types.

The NCPA wizard would create a separate checks. If you wanted to set up one check for all fs types, you would need to set it up manually. You could probably use the check_multi plugin to do so.
