Hi,
thanks for your relpy! - i have read the documentation but im affraid im
still having trouble with a particular check.
I have compiled and installed the check_nrpe plugin on my nagios box...i
then edited the following config files: ive got a host setup....
checkcommands.cfg
define command{
command_name check_directory_size
command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c CheckFileSize
}
services.cfg
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name testServer
service_description Directory Size
check_command check_directory_size
}
NOW i have read the CheckDisk documentation for the nsclient++. However i
dont quiet understand how i setup the check in the NSC.ini file. There is
an example in the CheckDisk documentation section which has the following
(this is what i almost need).
EXAMPLE 1:-
Check the size of the windows directory and make sure it stays below 1
gigabyte:
CheckFileSize ShowAll MaxWarn=1024M MaxCrit=4096M File:WIN=c:\WINDOWS\*.*
WARNING: WIN: 2G (2325339822B)|WIN=2325339822;1073741824;4294967296
define command {
command_name CheckFileSize
command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c CheckFileSize -a
ShowAll MaxWarn=$ARG1$ MaxCrit=$ARG2$ File:$ARG4$=$ARG5$
}
check_command CheckFileSize!1024M!4096M!WIN!c:\WINDOWS\*.*
I am abit puzzled on what i need to enter in the NSC.ini file.
I have a directory on the 'd' drive called ghost....i would like to monitor
the size of this directory and raise an alert when it reaches say 200GB.
Could you please help me edit the NSC.ini file and perform this check???
your help will be much appreciated!!!!
