for some reason, is it possible that only notification when lost monitor, but don't display warning/critical alarm status?

because the NagiosXI administrator don't want to let the user viewing warning/critical alarm status, except lost the host monitor?
what I think is to setup a very high threshold, so the plugin will never hit the alarm point?!

If the service goes to a WARNING or a CRITICAL state, the state will be shown in the GUI. This is the way nagios works. I don't think you can set any higher thresholds for this services. You are already using: Your disk is more than 99% full, so it shows WARNING (as expected).

I think you should find out WHY this disk is so close to being full. If this is a "norm" for this disk, why even bother monitoring it?

since the disks close to being full is a normal state, may be should not use this plugin, but use the other checking disks failure plugins, any suggestion?

If you wanted to check the disks for failures only (not for disk space), you could try some 3rd party plugins from the Nagios Exchange:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... on/details

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... rs/details

Some of these may only work on Linux. For Windows, you may use a custom powershell script, which you can call via NSClient++ or NCPA. I found one here:

I hasn't been tested by us, so I am not sure if it is going to work, but you can try it from the command line. If it works, you could add a command and a service to your Nagios XI server, by following the document below:

If none of these 3rd party solutions work for you, you could develop your own plugin in accordance with the Nagios Plugins Development Guidelines or contact our sales team at [email protected], and request a quote for custom development.

Hope this helps.
