Nagios Support Forum

Good Morning,

I am currently going through the process of adding a number of hosts to Nagios XI using the Windows WMI Configuration Wizard. We have previously opted to monitor disk space by value (i.e. -w _FreeGB=10: -c _FreeGB=5:) instead of percentage, however the plugin only accepts a percentage value. This means that once the host has been added, we need to go back to the disk usage services to swap the values over from percentage.

Is there any way to make use of the FreeGB settings when using the wizard? Or is there an alternative method to achieve this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I see this is your first post and I'd to thank you for choosing Nagios! We're happy have you in the community.

Here's a "workaround" that you could use in the WMI wizard itself. Enter "_FreeGB=10:" in the warning field, and "_FreeGB=5:" - in the critical field (without the quotes). Don't worry about the "%" sign. Run the wizard. The checks should be created properly with "-w _FreeGB=10: -c _FreeGB=5:".
Let us know if this helped.

That worked perfectly, thank you.
