I'd like to get information about swap files / swap partitions via the check_disk command. Like shown in the example below there exists a swap partition on the server as /dev/sda2: <img width="650" height="68" id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.gif@01D23C1A.38B2E4B0"> But when trying to monitor this partion via check_disk the output is: <img width="746" height="53" id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.gif@01D23C1A.38B2E4B0"> Is there any error in the syntax and is it possible in general to get information about the (physical) usage of swap files / partitions via check_disk or does this command not support these kind of files / partitions ? Do I have any other options to get the required information with one of the Nagios plugins ? Thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards Frank Schweitzer <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
