nagios help

[strawberry]

Right, Got nagios working fairly well, but i need to monitor the disk queue lengths, I'm using nsclient.

 

any help for a poor *unix noob?

#Disk Queue Length

 

 

From Checking NT Services with Nagios - Nagios Wiki

 

define command{

command_name check_nt_queue_length

command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\\Avg. Disk Queue Length","Average number of both read and write requests queued is %.2f Consider a faster disk array" -w 1 -c 5

}

Try this:

 

In your command.cfg file create the command to do the monitoring:

 

#Disk Queue Length

 

define command{

command_name check_nt_queue_length

command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\\Avg. Disk Queue Length","Average number of both read and write requests queued is %.2f Consider a faster disk array" -w 1 -c 5

}

 

Then in the host file for the server you are monitoring, add a check command similar to those already present, but altering the check to 'check_nt_queue_length'.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Edit:

Doh! Mounters beat me to it!
