Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
We want to know what the DISK CRITICAL values are when de server is down.
Is this possible? Because we only get the values on the frondent side when the server is up, but we want to see the critical disk values also when the server is down.
I think that nagios first want to count how much space there is available but when it can't connect then the critical values are also not alvailable.
Greetings, Michel

When the server is down Nagios has no way of monitoring it, either the network connection would have been severed, what Nagios was trying to reach inside the server was changed from the expected, or the server is completely turned off, in which case there is no way to monitor a drive that is not being used, is not powered on, spinning etc. In this case, critical..let alone warning values go out the window as there is no way to return anything from said object.
