Hi Neil,
I use the disk check like this :
; +---------------------------------------------------------------+
; | check : c:-partition on ALL corporate servers |
; +---------------------------------------------------------------+
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
hostgroup_name
production_servers,test_servers,development_servers
service_description C:-partition
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups nt-admins
notification_interval 5
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nt_disk!c!80!90
SO : try putting the drive letter in front of the threshold numbers .
Hope this helps you out .
Yves Desmyter .

Subject: [Nagios-users] checkcommands.cfg problem
Hi all,
I'm trying to get nagios 1.1 to monitor a Windows 2000 machine's disk =
usage. The windows 2000 box has the NSClient installed and it works =
fine from the command line of the nagios box. But when I run it through
= nagios itself this is what I get:
[1066255080] SERVICE ALERT: Scrooge;C drive disk =
check;UNKNOWN;HARD;1;check_nt: Unknown argument: (null) [1066255080]
SERVICE NOTIFICATION: UnixAdmins;Scrooge;C drive disk =
check;UNKNOWN;notify-by-email;check_nt: Unknown argument: (null)
Here is the settings within the services.cfg file:
define service {
host_name Scrooge
service_description C drive disk check
check_command check_nt_disk!80!95!c
register 1
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
contact_groups Unix-admins
And here is the checkcommands.cfg settings:
define command {
command_name check_nt_disk
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248
=
-v USEDDISKSPACE -s password123 -l $ARG3$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
Has anyone experienced this problem before? I did some searches within
= the mailing list and have been unable to find anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated......
Thanks.....
Neil

I don't know if anyone's done this before, but here's a hackjob diff of
check_mailq that works for the version of postfix I'm running. May it
fare so well in your environment.

Of course it might be useful to know your postfix version and the plugin
version for this diff :(
check_mailq v 1.4 supports sendmail/qmail/postfix ....

Subject: [Nagios-users] Redundancy...bad?
What if, instead of "clustering" the recommended way as described in the
docs utilizing passive checks aimed at a central server and such, I
simply set up two Nagios servers fully using a common MySQL backend?
I have this set up now, and they both seem okay.
I figure, MySQL can handle it no sweat. Sure, sometimes they'll check
the same thing, but for the most part they're going to be on dissimilar
schedules and simply reference each others' results from the DB (further
dissuading them from duplicate work).
Am I missing some reason this would be a Bad Thing?
Thanks for any input.

Well, I didn't provide a version for check_mailq as the file says: #
Initial version support sendmail's mailq command
I built it out of nagios-plugins in FreeBSD ports:
Port: nagios-plugins-1.3.1
Postfix version I'm running is 2.0.9; though I suspect it will work in
several other vesions.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem with Passive Check
I am having an unusual problem with some of my passive checks.
Basically about half of the time Nagios appears to get an OK from some
phantom check. Viewing the status on the web, I'll half the time see
"SERVICE OK - 20" and half the time see "(no output)". When my real
passive check does fail, the service flaps between the failure (with
"SERVICE - CRITICAL - 25") and ok (with "(no output)".)
I have passive_checks_enabled = 1, active_checks_enabled = 0 and have
check_freshness = 0. I have verified in the status logs that nothing
else is feeding service updates.
It appears as if somehow it is still running my check (which is set to
""), and the check is returning OK.
What am I missing?

You have multiple Nagios processes running on your aggregation server.
Stop Nagios with the init script, kill any remaining processes and
restart Nagios.
