Monitoring Disk Space

[Elijah Savage]

Not sure if this will help but here is how I got it to work, right from
my config file.

# 'check_local_disk' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_local_disk
        command_line    $USER1$/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /

We can't guess. We'd need to see the actual command definition for
check_local_disk to see if 

	1) the arguments were even being used
	2) which was used for warning and which for critical.

40% would be $ARG1$, 10% would be $ARG2$ and '/dev/hda2' would be
$ARG3$. That's all we can really say.
