[Nagiosplug-help] USEDDISKSPACE parameter

[Grant Lowe]

Hi Jonathan,

You're right.  I should have included some examples.  Here are some examples of what I tried from the command line:

  # ./check_nt -h
  # ./check_nt -H 172.20.10.30 -l USEDDISKSPACE
  # ./check_nt -H 172.20.10.30 -l USEDDISKSPACE -w 90 -c 95
  # ./check_nt -H 172.20.10.30 -l c USEDDISKSPACE -w 90 -c 95

The check_nt command definition I have is this:

# 'check_nt' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
        }

The check_nrpe command looks like this:

# 'check_nrpe' command defintion
define command{
        command_name    check_nrpe
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
        }

So how would I incorporate the following USEDDISKSPACE into the command definition?

check_command          check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 90 -c 95

Please clarify.  Thanks.

"none of them work" doesn't tell us what you're actually getting, and
what you're actually trying.  We also need your command definition so
we can see what you are actually executing.

If you're using nsclient++, you can use the CheckDriveSize parameter.

  http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/CheckDriveSize

This takes size, or % values.  I believe these need to be executed
through the NRPE portion of nsclient++.
