This plugin is created so that 'Performance Gauges' in Nagios XI work properly, showing appropriate 'Warning' and 'Critical' regions.
For Performance Gauges to show details properly, performance data should be in following format:
'VarName'=CurrentValue Unit;WarningValue;CriticalValue;MininumValue;MaximumValue
Important:
1. It uses the output of 'uptime' command.
2. Warning and Critical thresholds are 80% and 90% of the total number of processor cores.
For Ex: If you are using 16 core processor, Warning threshold will be 80% of 16 i.e. '12.8' and Critical threshold will be 90% of 16 i.e. '14.4'
3. If the calculated value, may it be 1 min load, 5 min load or 15 min load, exceeds the thresholds, status will be set accordingly (OK, WARNING or CRITICAL).
How To Use:
To monitor remote Linux server:
1. Keep the plugin in /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory.
2. Add following line to the nrpe.cfg file:
command[check_loadaverage.sh]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_loadaverage.sh
3. Add the following line to /etc/sudoers file:
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_loadaverage.sh
Usage:
On Monitoring Server:
./check_nrpe -H 128.9.45.13 -c check_loadavg.sh
Output:
OK- Load Average: 0.09, 0.05, 0.01 | load1=0.09;6.4;7.2;; load5=0.05;6.4;7.2;; load15=0.01;6.4;7.2;;
