R: R: check_memory does not work properly

[Edwin Zoeller]

Why don't you specify the ARGS in the commands.cfg file?

i.e.

Commands.cfg

# 'check_local_memory' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_local_memory
        command_line    $USER1$/check_memory -w 10% -c 5%
        }

Services.cfg

define service{
        use                                               active-service
        host_name                               <ip- addresses>
        service_description               check_local_memory
        check_command                   check_local_memory
        max_check_attempts           3
        normal_check_interval         5
        retry_check_interval             1
        check_period                           24x7
        notification_interval              120
        notification_period                24x7
        notification_options              w,u,c,r
        notifications_enabled          1
        contact_groups                       CG_admin
        }

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 ?
