[Nagiosplug-help] NRPE + Check disk

[tom.welsh at bt.com]

Hey List,


Current setup.

Nagios 2.5  - Standard install to /usr/local/nagios/*
Nagios Plugins 1.4.3 - Standard install to /usr/local/nagios/libexec
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 sp2 - Disks partitioned with LVM ( yes I have taken that into account in my check command I think)

I am attempting to check disks on remote machines using NRPE. This works fine but I do net get the actual disk free figures displayed in the Service Detail view off the host. All I get displayed is "DISK OK - free space:"

When I look at actual Service page I see that the Performance data shows the Disk free figures

	Service State Information
	Current Status:	  OK    
	Status Information:	DISK OK - free space:	
	Performance Data:	/=10840MB;11468;12901;-9223372036854775808;14335	
   
Here is the relevant sections from my configs.

>From NRPE config file on monitored host

When I execute the command as the nagios user on both the monitored and monitoring boxes I get the output below. 
As you can see the Monitored host reports the space free on the disk. Cool that's what I want thanks.

>From Monitored host

nagios at h4oiap:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -l -X iso9660 -X proc -x sysv -X tempfs -w 20% -c 10% -p /

DISK OK - free space: / 3492 MB (24% inode=nan%);| /=10843MB;11468;12901;-9223372036854775808;14335

On the monitoring host we do not seem to pick up the free space. Have I not escaped something in my configs.

>From Monitoring host

	nagios at usel:/usr/local/nagios/etc> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 132.146.185.13 -p 5666 -c check_disk1

	DISK OK - free space:| /=10842MB;11468;12901;-9223372036854775808;14335

I know I've missed something stupid and cant spot it. I'm hopefull one off you eagle eyed blighters might spot it.


All help gratefully received.
