PNP swap template HOWTO

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi All/Jim/Marc-Andre,
Thanks for the response. I was actually able to figure it out while waiting - I didn't RTFM - not all at first :-)

Here is what I did in case someone else finds it useful (and if possible correct me if I am wrong):

# cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands
# cp -a check_nwstat.cfg-sample check_nrpe.cfg
# grep CUSTOM_TEMPLATE check_nrpe.cfg
CUSTOM_TEMPLATE = 0,1

# cd /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp
# cp -a templates.dist/check_swap.php templates/check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php
# /etc/init.d/npcd restart


Jim: The SWAP graph looks OK and I haven't noticed any changes in the other graphs (CPU, RAM, filesystems, PING, etc) - possibly because the check_nrpe defaults are the same as in the nwstat.cfg-sample file I created the check_nrpe.cfg from, and the check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php is only used for the SWAP graph while the default check_nrpe settings continues to be used for the other graphs?

Marc-Andre: I assume apart from just placing your SWAP template in the templates directory, I still need to create the check_nrpe.cfg and check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php files as I did above? Will try your template in a minute ...

Ach! I lost all my SWAP history by deleting the RRDs!

Thanks again.
Regards.

You could use a template I developped some weeks ago. It works pretty well. 
Just copy it into the "templates" directory
