Updating fedora fixed the problem :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 August 2006 07:12 To: Martin J. Green; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Nagiosplug-help] [Nagios-users] BUG: check_disk doesn'tsupport LVM volumes
Almost all of the hosts I monitor with Nagios use some kind of volume manager (either LVM on HP-UX and Linux, or VxVM on Solaris), and I have no problem whatsoever with check_disk on those. I wonder why you check the partitions (or better LVs in your case) instead of having all local mounts checked by explicitly excluding those which make no sense (e.g. media mounts like CD-ROMs) or special filesystems (like iso9660 or cdfs, procfs, tmpfs etc.) For the first use the -x option, and for the latter -X (both can be used repeatedly) As I usually have those checks executed on behalf of an nrpe daemon I simply define an appropiate command in nrpe.conf of the monitored host E.g. for Linux boxes I would use an nrpe command like # grep check_disk_LOCPCT_W10C5 /usr/lib/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg command[check_disk_LOCPCT_W10C5]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_di sk -e -l -X iso9660 -X nfs -X proc -X sysv -X tmpfs -w 10% -c 5% where warning state is reached when percentage free space is less than 10% and a critical state when less than 5%. As you can see the "%" doesn't need any special quoting for the shell. Besides, I think it doesn't make sense to check the state of NFS mounts why I use the -l option above to restrict the check on local filesystems. Because of unnecessary performance penalties (querying rpc.statd) and possible absence of RPC services or stale NFS handles etc. those shared NFS filesystems should rather be checked on the exporting server, I would assume. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Martin J.
