Help on check_disk using the -p option.

[McCann, Brian]

In the nrpe config, you need to name each of your commands differently.
For example, don't use "check_disk" for them all.  Use "check_disk1",
"check_disk2", or whatever convention you want to follow.  On the newer
systems I'm building, I use "check_disk_mlxd0s1_a",
"check_disk"mlxd0s1_d" for example (I'm running FreeBSD, so if you are
unfamiliar with it, "mlxd0" is the device, "s1" and "a" is the slice and
partition.)

Hope that helps,
--Brian

Hi Nagios gurus.

Have a problem using check_disk with the -p option.
When I use the check_disk command in the nrpe.cfg file on the client as
shown below:

command[check_disk]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda[1-6]

and when I run the check_disk command from the nagios
server:

# /usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H pegasus -c check_disk I
get the output as:

DISK OK [74748 kB (77%) free on /dev/sda1]

It does not show the rest of the partitions (2 through 6).  It only
takes sda1.
Anything else I may be missing on this.

I tried to specify individual disk partitons like so:
# Disk Checking:

# sda
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda1
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda2
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda3
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda5
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda6

but the check_disk only looks at the last partiton like so:
# /usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H pegasus -c check_disk I
get the output as:

DISK OK [104748 kB (66%) free on /dev/sda6]

Anything I might be missing on this or is there a better way to use the
-p option in the check_disk.  
Or should I specify more options in the
checkcommands.cfg file.  My check_nrpe portion in the checkcommands.cfg
file is shown below:
# 'check_nrpe' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nrpe
        command_line   
/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
        }

If I add more arguments in the check_nrpe portion of my
checkcommands.cfg file, all nrpe checks fail (for load and disk).  I
tried that once a few days ago.

Or should I do something in the services.cfg file?
Here is a clipping of the check_disk portion of my services.cfg file:
# Service definition
define service{
        use                            
generic-service         ; Name of service template to
use
        hostgroup_name                 
computer-distopias
        service_description             Disk
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  unix-team
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c,r
        check_command                  
check_nrpe!check_disk
        }

Thanks for the help in advance.
-Mukarram Syed.
