Nagios behaviour problem

Hi Ed.

I had a similar problem.

The problem I was having had to do with the "df" output.

For example, a normal "df -k" would look something like this:

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  4133838 2533134 1559366    62%    /
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc
fd                         0       0       0     0%    /dev/fd
mnttab                     0       0       0     0%    /etc/mnttab
/dev/vx/dsk/var      4133838  103354 3989146     3%    /var
swap                 21524984      32 21524952     1%    /var/run
swap                 2097152   49800 2047352     3%    /tmp
/dev/vx/dsk/home     54020703 34159356 19321140    64%    /export/home


The issue I had was when a portion of the "df -k" output was different than what the check_disk program was expecting. Shown below, the /u01 and /software filesystems were returning "no output".

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  4129290 1904935 2183063    47%    /
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc
fd                         0       0       0     0%    /dev/fd
mnttab                     0       0       0     0%    /etc/mnttab
/dev/vx/dsk/var       492872  235991  207594    54%    /var
swap                 8853128      32 8853096     1%    /var/run
swap                 8853216     120 8853096     1%    /tmp
/dev/vx/dsk/opt      1016122  436412  518743    46%    /opt
/dev/vx/dsk/appdg/u01
                     15482880 5417160 9908496    36%    /u01
/dev/vx/dsk/home     25190412 23216228 1722280    94%    /export/home
avesun1:/export/home 11856107 7348299 4389247    63%    /software


I eventually had to use the "GNU di" program as my "df" program. This allowed me modify the "df -k" output and check_disk accepted it.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Since I can't find a way to use check_disk to ignore nfs mounted file systems, I have written my own perl script to do so, and it is quite useful.  However, when I try to use it with nagios, nagios always comes back with (no  output!).  It works fine on the command line as the nagios user.  Any ideas what could be causing this and what I could do to fix it?  I have the path fully qualfied.  Any help is appreciated.

Ed
