Nagios + memory usage + SNMP

[James Pratt]

Ok here is how I check/monitor memory on windows systems using the check_snmp_storage script:

Commands.cfg definition - 

## check phys mem on a windows server or vm - note the server must have snmpd installed and running, as well as a RO user defined!
##
define command{
        command_name check_snmp_phys_mem_win
        command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_storage -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $USER16$ -m "Physical Memory" -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
        }

(Where $USER16$ is the snmp user defined to be read-only on the server you are monitoring, in your resources.cfg file) 



###
Here is actual service definition in my services.cfg file - 

## Windows SNMP Mem Usage warn on 85%, crit on 90%
define service{
        use                             generic-service,srv-pnp         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                      Windows1,Windows2
        service_description             SNMP - Physical Memory Usage
        check_period                    workhours
       check_interval		15
        max_check_attempts              5
        notification_interval           60
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_snmp_phys_mem_win!85!90
        }

(If anything is missing from the above, it's being inherited from the hosts' definition to which it applies. HTH, have a good weekend.

James,

Would post the command.cfg host.cfg and with the command checking memory for me based on them? I am new to Nagios, I still need to adjust the command line.

thanks
