Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Wondering if it is possible for a check command that has multiple possible values for error feedback to trigger warnings and critical.

I have found the information about defining thresholds, but what it doesn't explain for me is if I can do multiple vaules...

Example, I have an SNMP feedback for HDD monitoring, I want SNMP return values 6,7,24,34 to trigger a warning and values 0,2,4,11,39,41,53 to trigger a critical. I have used the following as my syntax

-w @5:8,@23:25,@33:35 -c 1:,@1:3,@3:5,@10:12,@38:40,@40:42,@52:54

is this correct?

Thank you for any assistance...

This depends on the plugin defined in the command. Nagios sets status based on the return value of a check.

Thankyou for your response

I am using the check_snmp command, however what I have found with testing is that when I have multiple thresholds it doesn't recognize the defined values as I mentioned in my question.

What I have done in the mean time is create individual services using the check_snmp command with a single defined threshold, it means a lot more programming but it seems the only way for me to proceed. I was trying to find a way of simplifying the process as each drive will require 11 services...

Cheers

Have a look at the plugins web page referenced at the end of check_snmp -h. It suggests that multiple -w and -c options can be defined.
It's still a bit gruesome but it might work depending on whether check_snmp conforms to the document.

See whether Check_snmp conforms to the document.

If you could provide more information about the context in which you're encountering these "command thresholds," I would be happy to help you further. Please specify the system, software, or scenario you're referring to so that I can provide a more detailed response or solution.

In case you want to define ranges or custom thresholds, you might need to refer to the plugin documentation for the correct syntax,getaway shootout as different plugins may have different ways of handling ranges.
