I have a check that is showing 123% usage on a large (>4TB) disk

Critical
E:\ Label:Shared Disk Serial Number 58745973: 123%used(-16731736MB/-13631618MB) (>95%) : CRITICAL

Can you please tell me how to make this check behave?

What plugin/agent are you using for this check?

I'm using

check_xi_service_snmp_win_storage! -C RMCPUB --v2c -m ^E: -w 80 -c 95 -f

as the agent.

These volumes may be too large to be manages by the version of SNMP you have on the remote system, I would highly recommend using an Agent such as NCPA for this monitoring if possible

To confirm this we could run the following to get the detailed results with verbose output:

Thanks Scott the output is:

As I suspected, SNMP on this system is returning negative numbers which does happen frequently in SNMP with very large disks, there isn't going to be any way to get correct results like this.

I would recommend using an agent such as NCPA or NSClient++, or you could use WMI with the Wizard after the setup in the doc below
