Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am a NAGIOS beginner and I have the need to adjust the Parameter disk usage c: of a host (one disk of a terminal-server)

is there an easy way to adjust this setting?

thanks for your help in advance,


Axel

Hello and welcome aschmid,

Just to clarify, you would like to change the parameter of a check that looks at disk space? So for instance if the check is checking disk "C:" if the disk has a warning level of 60, and a critical level of 80 you would like to change these values?

yes we noticed that a threshold of 80 is not what we want, so we want to change this value to 90 %

If you look at the following web page it will show examples for the check_disk NRPE check:

http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_disk

You would be changing the critical value or "-c 80" to "-c 90" in this case.

Since this is a Service specific change it must be made from the Service's config file. All of your Services are located at:
You are going to be looking for a string starting with "check_command" and at the end it will say something along the lines of:
Here, simply change the value as dictated above.

Hope this helps!
