Hi,
We discovered some quite strange result from the check_mem plugin :
root@server:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mem --version
check_mem v$Revision: 1.8 $ (monitoring-plugins 2.1.2)
The Monitoring Plugins come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. You may redistribute
copies of the plugins under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
For more information about these matters, see the file named COPYING.
It says that no memory is used and some swap is. By looking the output from
free, we read completely different values :
root@server:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mem -w 85,25 -c 92,50
<b>WARNING: Memory Usage (W> 85, C> 92): 0% <br>Swap Usage (W> 25, C> 50):
27%</b>|MemUsed=0%;85;92 SwapUsed=27%;25;50
root@server:~# free -k
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 2039560 804156 435688 21404 799716 1010344
Swap: 975868 0 975868
The host is a VM (VMware) running Ubuntu 16.04 server. Any idea on this
inconsistency?
Regards,
Samuel Bancal
