FW: NSClient++ on windows machine

[Palle Jensen]

Hej :=)

Thanks Lars, still struggling in between, to get the ngraphs working for my
Check_nt services.

I tried what you said and i got the output data, but how to change it in the
ngraph definition? That seems to be not all that easy.

For example:
check_nt -H ip.ad.dre.ss -v USEDDISKSPACE -l c -p 12489 -w 90 -c 95 

Will give the output:
c:\ - total: 3.95 Gb - used: 2.44 Gb (62%) - free 1.51 Gb (38%) | 'c:\ Used
Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95 

If I understand it correct it's the code in "graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)MB"
that needs to match or read the output perf data from check_nt e.g | 'c:\
Used Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95 
  
  define ngraph {
  graph_legend Used Space
  graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)MB
  graph_value MBused
  hide yes
  rrd_color 00a000
  rrd_plottype AREA
  service_name Filesystems
}


Another example is the Check_nt Memory used
| 'Memory usage'=1367.25Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60

Compared to output from Check_mem (native plugin)
| /=2848MB;17278;17268;0;17358 /boot=16MB;18;8;0;98
/dev/shm=0MB;170;160;0;250

And the Ngraph definition for the native plugin looks like this:

define ngraph {
  graph_legend Memory Used
  graph_perf_regex MemUsed=([0-9]+)%
  graph_value MemUsed
  hide yes
  rrd_color 00a000
  rrd_plottype AREA
  service_name Memuse
}


What do you think, or are there anyone else that knows how to changes this
so that I can get the perf data to be picked up by ngraph?

Thanks,
- Palle

I'll just assume that you remembered to restart/reload
both NagiosGrapher and nagios when adding stuff in config.

There might be a difference in the performance data handed
back by NSClient as compared to the native check plugins.

The check_load, for instance, can be run manually. Now run the
check_load for the Windows boxes (whatever it's called) and
compare the output, especially the output to the righ of the '|'
character, i.e. the performance data delimiter. If they are not
the same, they wont fit the same graph definition.

Min you, I have no experience with NSClient at all, but still.

Cheers
