It comes from the check_disk plugin, not nagios. Interestingly, the
default units _are_ megabytes so I think you might have specifically
set it to show KB instead. Take a look at your check_disk command
definition to verify you didn't specify -k and/or make sure you're
using -u or -m properly.

This plugin checks the amount of used disk space on a mounted file
system
and generates an alert if free space is less than one of the threshold
values
Usage: check_disk -w limit -c limit [-W limit] [-K limit] {-p path | -
x device}
[-C] [-E] [-e] [-g group ] [-k] [-l] [-M] [-m] [-R path ] [-r path ]
[-t timeout] [-u unit] [-v] [-X type]
Options:
-h, --help
Print detailed help screen
[chop chop snip snip ohwhatareliefitis]
-k, --kilobytes
Same as '--units kB'
-m, --megabytes
Same as '--units MB'
-u, --units=STRING
Choose bytes, kB, MB, GB, TB (default: MB)

Re: [Nagios-users] Changing diskspace available from kilobytes to megabytes
The disk space units have nothing to do with Nagios, but with the output of
the particular plugin you are using. The plugin 'check_disk', which comes
with the Nagios Plugins package, by default displays data in megabytes, but
you change the units with the proper argument. It appears that plugin only
works with locally mounted filesytems.
There is another plugin called 'check_snmp_storage.pl' which allows you to
check diskspace of remote systems via SNMP. It's units are in megabytes
only. You could change this by editing the perl script, of course.
So, it all depends on the plugin you are using and whether or not the disk
space units are configurable.
I would suggest searching Google. ;-)

[Nagios-users] Changing diskspace
available from kilobytes to
megabytes
Hi there --
We currently have several Nagios 2.6, and will eventually deploy version
3.0.6 servers running on our network.
Currently diskspace availability is shown in kilobytes, but I would prefer
to have it displayed in megabytes.
Is it possible to configure either versions of Nagios to have the output in
megabytes? If so, what needs to be
done in order to accomplish this? Thanks.
