[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. The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

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. ;-) James Moseley Kaplan, Andrew H. ahkap...@partner To S.ORGnagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 01/12/2009 07:15 cc PM Subject [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.

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.
[libexec]$ ./check_disk --help

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)
