Memory usage report

Hi Team,

We want to schedule one report in Nagios which will show the data of Memory Usage in Critical state and using more that 95%.
Is this possible in Nagios?

Please suggest.

Sure, this is possible to do using NCPA. Here are the installation instructions.

At a high level, you'd install NCPA listener on the machine you want to monitor, set a password, then run thru the NCPA wizard using the IP address of the monitored machine and the password, inside the Nagios XI web interface to set up checks. The thresholds (95% memory usage, etc) are set inside the wizard.

Here's a video tutorial on installing NCPA

Hello,

Thank you for the reply!!

Seems you got confused here. We are already monitoring memory usage in nagios. I wanted to schedule Report where we will get the data of all memory services in crtical state and showing 95% or above usage.

Unfortunately, this type of report is not currently available. The state history report would help but it's not going to filter based on the plugin thresholds.

You can pull object status from the API, but this will require some custom scripting to parse out the desired results.
