tracing nagios actions

[steve f]

Mark,

I think Salvatore means run the check manually from the command line , make sure you run it as the nagios user and try setting tha warning & critical values to something that will make it fail also:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec > ./check_disk -w 50 -c 70 -p /home
DISK OK - free space: /home 440 MB (95% inode=99%);| /home=20MB;436;416;0;486

The -p just checks a specific path.  ( FYI )

Steve

Hi Salvatore,
They're all Unix (Redhat) servers. By check command do you mean nagios -v? I've done that and I do not get an errors.

Thanks,Mark

Are these Windows or *nix server?

 

Either wau run the check command manually from a console and see
what the results are.

Hi,





 





I have a small-ish number of servers and I've tried to
configure Nagios to warn me about disk-space running low. The problem is that,
although disk space is above both warning and critical levels I'm not getting
any notifications.





 





The nagios.log file is silent on the topic and nagios -v
does not produce any errors or warnings.





 





Is there a way to trace what actions nagios is considering
(much like make -n) in order to debug this problem? Is there a debugging
methodology defined somewhere? If it's in your head can you share?





 





Thanks,





Mark
