Check_drivesize - Filter processing failed

[RyanMule]

Hello All,

I am having an odd intermittent issue with my check_drivesize command. I am using NSclient++ version 5.2.

Randomly my checks will come back unknown and get the following error:

Filter processing failed: Failed to get size for \\?\Volume{4faf2c15-d531-11de-9881-806e6f6e6963}\: 57: The parameter is incorrect.

This is the command I am using:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c check_drivesize -a drive=* exclude=M:\\ 'warning=used>92%' 'critical=used>95%'

How do I exclude these volumes? This is a Windows 2012 server VM in VMware. I've read some people say its ghost floppy drives...

Thank you
Ryan

You are showing "Filter processing failed" error, but there is no filter in your command. Is this the actual command that you are running?

This is the command I am using:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c check_drivesize -a drive=* exclude=M:\\ 'warning=used>92%' 'critical=used>95%'

According to Michael Medin, you could combine filters with and/or, etc. For example, if you are running a command like this one:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_drivesize -a drive=* "filter=type in ('fixed', 'remote')" exclude=M:\\ 'warning=used>92%' 'critical=used>95%'

but you are having issues, you could try using the command below instead:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_drivesize -a drive=* "filter=type in ('fixed', 'remote') and mounted = 1" exclude=M:\\ 'warning=used>92%' 'critical=used>95%'
