Post by infraprivy »

I Have an issue on my server that i had been monitored via NRPE its shows no data on capacity planning, my question is NRPE cannot be used to get capacity planning graph?.

Hi @infraprivy,

I would recommend running the check command from the CLI to see what data it returns. To generate a run command via the web interface go to:

Code: Select all

Configure (top) -> Core Config Manager -> Services (left) ->
Find the service you've configured and click on the wrench on the right side.
Then Click on the "Run Check Command" button and the confirmation.
Then copy the command it generates and run it on the CLI as the user nagios.

The purpose of this is to ensure that the server you are monitoring is actually returning data that Capacity Planning monitors. There shouldn't be a specific issue with NRPE not providing this data so it may be related to the script that is actually returning the data to NRPE.

HI Jsimon

Here's the sample of my memory usage service
OK - 11462 / 15858 MB (72%) Free Memory, Used: 4395 MB, Shared: 810 MB, Buffers + Cached: 8741 MB | total=15858MB free=11462MB used=4395MB shared=810MB buffers_and_cached=8741MB
what type of data is required to get the capacity plan?
