Ability to warn when number goes bellow warning level

[Hendrix, Austin]

This should be doable with the check_snmp plugin.
I have nagios-plugins-snmp-1.4.13-9.fc8 on one of my EC2 instances, and the snmp plugin seems to operate as follows (quoted from check_snmp --help)

-w, --warning=INTEGER_RANGE(s)
    Range(s) which will not result in a WARNING status
 -c, --critical=INTEGER_RANGE(s)
    Range(s) which will not result in a CRITICAL status

Notes:
- Ranges are inclusive and are indicated with colons. When specified as
   'min:max' a STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the indicated
   range or is equal to the upper or lower bound. A non-OK state will be
   returned if the result is outside the specified range.
 - If specified in the order 'max:min' a non-OK state will be returned if the
   result is within the (inclusive) range.
 - Upper or lower bounds may be omitted to skip checking the respective limit.
 - Bare integers are interpreted as upper limits.


So you might try:

define command{
     command_name    snmp_ups_capa
     command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1.0 -w 90: -c 80: -l 'Adv. Battery Capacity' -u '%'
  }

(note the added colons after 80 and 90, to indicate that they are the lower bounds for their ranges)

Regards,
-Austin

(sorry if this shows up at html-email; I'm still kicking outlook in the shins to try to get it to do what I want)

This is the code I am using to check it.


define command{
     command_name    snmp_ups_capa
     command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1.0 -l 'Adv. Battery Capacity' -u '%'
  }


So what I would like to do is this


define command{
     command_name    snmp_ups_capa
     command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1.0 -w 90 -c 80 -l 'Adv. Battery Capacity' -u '%'
  }

Except when it's below 90 and 80.  I would like to try to get this to work first.  Then I can think about install apcupsd.

Thanks

Jeremy, if you already have apcupsd ( www.apcupsd.com<http://www.apcupsd.com> ) installed on the target "ups hosts" you can use check_apcupsd ( http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/UPS/APC/check_apcupsd/details )

I have a good many ups units deployed to workstations and keep an eye on them with nagios through this plugin. It is a bash script however, so it won't work if your nagios system is windows. I have extended the code to report several other variables as well, it is easy to do.

I have many UPS systems.  I would like to warn when the battery gets below 90% and go critical when it goes below 80%.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
