Is this a Linux server you are checking?

Hello,

I agree that the server still has plenty of space and also inodes look OK.
So what you need to find out now is the WARNING and CRITICAL thresholds. These thresholds determine when a warning or critical notification should be sent by Nagios. The warning threshold is probably set very low.

As this check is a NRPE check, you have to find this information on your host serv2 (172.19.4.192) in the nrpe.cfg file.
You have to look for the check_command[*] lines and find the check responsible for the disk space. There you will find the warning (-w) and critical (-c) thresholds which you can adapt and then restart the nrpe daemon.

Hi Group,

I am having a bit of a time understanding a NAGIOS alert that was setup be my
predecessor.
I will show the alert that is on disc availability, and then below that I show
the NAGIOS display
 of the alert conditions of dic conditions and lastly I show the actual values
of the disc "df" command
from the Server itself.

My question is this.....what is the service complaining about? There appears
tobe plenty of disk space based on the email. The actual "df" itself seems
to be that there is space issues looking at bits but the availabile percentage
seems high.

Thanks for your help in advance.
