Nagios Support Forum

Good Day,

We are running the following plugin :

# ./check_ncpa.py -H srv004253 -P 5693 -t N@g1os -M 'plugins/check_entitlement' -a '-ew=95% -ec=100%'
ENTITLEMENT CRITICAL ent_used=0.89(CRITICAL) ent=0.10 ent_max=1 vcpu_busy=89.42%(CRITICAL) |ent_used=0.89;ent=0.10;ent_max=1,vcpu_busy=89.42

However, no graphs are being created. Does it have to do with the way the output is presented / fomatted ?

Yes, your plugin is outputting this for performance data this is not valid, each performance data metric should be separated by a space
