Nagios Support Forum

Hi, we are really confused to to implement a range for critical condition. All we want is only critical if the received value is 2.

Couldn't get it done using the Nagios document.

Range definition Generate an alert if x...
10 < 0 or > 10, (outside the range of {0 .. 10})
10: < 10, (outside {10 .. ∞})
~:10 > 10, (outside the range of {-∞ .. 10})
10:20 < 10 or > 20, (outside the range of {10 .. 20})
@10:20 ≥ 10 and ≤ 20, (inside the range of {10 .. 20})
20:10 Inclusive of 10 to 20



Thanks
Tom

Does setting just -c 2 not work for you? It would seem that the check command accepts this just fine without -w.

Hi, no -c 2 still returns OK if the value is 2.

My mistake Tom, -c is for specifying what will not result in a critical. How about "-c :1 or 3:" meaning 1 or less, or, 3 or higher are not critical. This should just leave 2 as a critical causing return. You might have to wrap that in double or single quotes such as -c ':1 or 3:' or -c ":1 or 3:".

Hi, the -c :1 or 3: works.

Thanks
Tom

you are most welcome, thank you for letting us know!
