R: R: check_memory does not work properly

[James Osbourn]

What user is your Nagios server running as?  Is it the same as the user that you are using on the command line?  Could you post more details about the exact check_memory command that you are using, there are several of them out there.  The output you are getting from Nagios, is this on the web gui, or in one of the log files.

It could be many things related to the check scripts itself, who you are running as where you are running the command.  The command line is not always the same as when the server executes.

Posting your check configuration is really helpful in cases like this.  It's almost impossible to give a good answer without knowing how you've set the check up.

Hi all


I am using a simple plug-in to check the nagios server memory.

When I run it like user Nagios, it works perfectly. I see this output:
OK - free memory is 40% which is within expected threshold| mem=40;10;5;0;100

When I run it with Nagios program I receive this notification:

.....

Command:         check_local_memory

State:                   WARNING

Message:            (null)
....


Any idea ?
