Re: [Nagios-users] monitor directory size?
Appologies for the numerous emails!! I noticed that nsclient++ has a checkDisk.dll which you can use to check the size of one of more files or directories. So this sounds like what i need to use.but i still dont know how to check this from the nagios server - is there another plugin that i need to run on the nagios serverwhat to have in the config files???

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor directory size?
Hi,
thanks for your relpy! - i have read the documentation but im affraid im
still having trouble with a particular check.
I have compiled and installed the check_nrpe plugin on my nagios box...i
then edited the following config files: ive got a host setup
checkcommands.cfg
define command{
command_namecheck_directory_size
command_linecheck_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c CheckFileSize
}
services.cfg
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name testServer
service_description Directory Size
check_commandcheck_directory_size
}
NOW i have read the CheckDisk documentation for the nsclient++. However i
dont quiet understand how i setup the check in the NSC.ini file. There is
an example in the CheckDisk documentation section which has the following
(this is what i almost need).
EXAMPLE 1:-
Check the size of the windows directory and make sure it stays below 1
gigabyte:
CheckFileSize ShowAll MaxWarn=1024M MaxCrit=4096M File:WIN=c:\WINDOWS\*.*
WARNING: WIN: 2G (2325339822B)|WIN=2325339822;1073741824;4294967296
define command {
command_name CheckFileSize
command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c CheckFileSize -a
ShowAll MaxWarn=$ARG1$ MaxCrit=$ARG2$ File:$ARG4$=$ARG5$
}
check_command CheckFileSize!1024M!4096M!WIN!c:\WINDOWS\*.*
I am abit puzzled on what i need to enter in the NSC.ini file.
I have a directory on the 'd' drive called ghosti would like to monitor
the size of this directory and raise an alert when it reaches say 200GB.
Could you please help me edit the NSC.ini file and perform this check???
your help will be much appreciated

Not sure, did you check firewall from both side.
Is nsclient installed as a service, take a look also at windows logs to see
errors.

HI Toto,
I've even tried what you suggested.but when i run: ./check_nrpe -H
host -c check_cmd
i get a connection refused :-(
i'm even running the nsclient++ on the remote windows server as a local
admin!
here's a sample of the important bits out of my NSC.ini file:
FileLogger.dll
;CheckSystem.dll
CheckDisk.dll
NSClientListener.dll
NRPEListener.dll
;SysTray.dll
;CheckEventLog.dll
;CheckHelpers.dll
;# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
allowed_hosts=i have put the ip address of the nagios server here
[NSClient]
;# NSCLIENT PORT NUMBER
; This is the port the NSClientListener.dll will listen to.
port=12489
[NRPE]
;# NRPE PORT NUMBER
; This is the port the NRPEListener.dll will listen to.
port=5666
[NRPE Handlers]
command[check_cmd]=D:\hello.cmd
any suggestions on what im doing wrong???

Hi
Everything is so well documented in nsclient++ doc that i wonder why
you
prefer asking here. Anyway you should have first the check_nrpe plugin.
Then
you just have to define command in checkcommands using ./check_nrpe -H
hostname -c check_cmd
define command {
command_name Hello
command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_cmd
}
Please run check_nrpe -h to get the help of the plugin.
cheers

Hi All,
I am having some difficulty with using nclient++ and was wondering
if
somebody could help??
I have download nslicnet++ (from
http://nscplus.medin.name/index.php/Main_Page) and installed it on a
remote
windows server. I then modified the NSC.ini file and added a line:
command[check_cmd]=D:\hello.cmd
I then created a simple .cmd file called hello.cmd which contained
the
following:
@echo off
echo hello world
exit 1
MY QUESTION IS:
what do i need to do/run on the nagios server inorder to run a check
against
hello.cmd for example?

in NSC.ini
in the NRPE handlers section
mycheck=c:\somecheck.bat
For coding the batch file
useful -
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html
The main part is the return codes
Numeric Value
Service Status
Status Description
0
OK
The plugin was able to check the service and it appeared to be
functioning
properly
1
Warning
The plugin was able to check the service, but it appeared to be
above
some
warning threshold or did not appear to be working properly
2
Critical
The plugin detected that either the service was not running or it
was
above
some critical threshold
3
Unknown
Invalid command line arguments were supplied to the plugin or
low-level
failures internal to the plugin (such as unable to fork, or open a
tcp
socket) that prevent it from performing the specified operation.
Higher-level errors (such as name resolution errors, socket
timeouts,
etc)
are outside of the control of plugins and should generally NOT be
reported
as UNKNOWN states.
Hopeful this was enough get you closer to a solution. If not I have
to
write
one in the near future so I will send how I went about creating the
check.
Thanks,
Bill

nsclient++ has the ability to run batch files via check_nrep.
Might
be
an
option to do a dir and parse the filesize out of that.

Is there a way to monitor a directories size via snmp As far as I understand SNMP it is quite easy to tell: If there is an object for that in the MIB of the SNMP client on this windows machine, then it should be fairly easy to rewrite check_snmp_storage.pl (or write your own script) to query that object. So have a look at the MIB of your SNMP service on the winX box. Dirk From: Hendrik Baecker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] monitor directory size?
