Performance graph is not being created for UPTIME service check via Windows Server monitoring wizard…Ping graph is visible. Screen shots walk thru creation of PING and UPTIME. This example is affecting more than 100+ existing hosts.

I’ve located (1) Host (via graph explorer) in which UPTIME graphing is visible..process perf data for the check is set to skip as well..it doesn’t make sense why this only seems to be an issue for UPTIME checks.

Please see attached screenshots

The standard uptime that runs from check_nt does NOT return performance data.

You can however modify your NSClient++ to accept NRPE and use a command like so:

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c CheckUpTime -a MinWarn=1d MinCrit=12h

Hmm thats strange..is it a fluke that one of the checks IS graphing info?..the settings are the same as the rest of the UPTIME checks with check nt.

It must have been a fluke (like the check command was changed) because these graphs are for Ping times and Packet Loss...

OK...the UPTIME checks in their current setting on average are 450+ days old. Will historical data still be available if a new check command is used OR if the original check command edited? OR do I loose everything either way and start back at present day1?

If you just change the check command it should not affect historical state information.
