Project Notes

Add something like

command[check_hd]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hd $HOSTADDRESS$ public $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

to your command.cfg

also add something like

define command{

command_name check_hd

command_line $USER1$/check_hd $HOSTADDRESS$ public $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

}

to your checkcommands.cfg

by using the lines

define service{

use generic-service

host_name YOURHOST

service_description SERVICENAME

is_volatile 0

check_period 24x7

max_check_attempts 3

normal_check_interval 60

retry_check_interval 1

contact_groups admins

notification_interval 240

notification_period 24x7

notification_options c,r

check_command check_hd!40!60!C

}

you can activate checks for disc C on YOURHOST. You will receive warnings, if percentage of used space reaches 40 perc. and you will receive a critical fail if percentage of used discspace reaches 60 perc.

some Modifications

by: nikonier

Hi,
after installing the plugin I got an error:
(Service check did not exit properly)

after some "googling" I modified my entry in the commands.cfg:
command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/check_hd $HOSTADDRESS$ public $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

everything works, but I don't like the output:
OK: hd C in use 5.19659161907092 perc and 529.744556427002 GB free w-40 c-60

so I did some more modifications. edit the plugin check_hd:
around Line 72:
$freespace=$fullsize1 - $usedsize1;
$freespace=$freespace / 1024 / 1024 / 1024;
$freespace = sprintf("%.2f", $freespace);
$percfilled=$usedsize1 * 100 / $fullsize1;
$percfilled = sprintf("%.2f", $percfilled);

ADD the commands with the sprintf command.

output now:
OK: hd C in use 5.20 perc and 529.74 GB free w-40 c-60

regards,
Juergen
