Subject: [Nagios-users] check_mrtg always returns unknown (#3)?


I'm trying to make sure that my MRTG program is running, and updating data.
I think I want to use the check_mrtg function to do that. I'm *only*
interested in whether the MRTG is running. Here's the syntax I'm using.

./check_mrtg -F /path/cpu.log -a MAX -v 1 -w 100 -c 200 -e 10 -l "CPU Usage"
-u %

Output: Max. CPU Usage = 42 %|'CPU Usage'=42%;100;200;

I'm monitoring CPU usage on our router. If it goes above 100% page me.
Again, I don't care about the CPU usage, I only want to know about that -e
10 (if the MRTG data is more than 10 minutes old). When I run the above
command it always exits with a 3 which is Unknown in Nagios.

It reads the data from MRTG just fine, it's just that no matter WHAT I do,
or what syntax I try it always exits 3 unknown. Is my syntax wrong on that
check?

Scott
