My bad, I guess, in not setting up and using nrpe and nsclient; I’ll try those.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I don’t know why the IDE drives aren’t being reported. As to the SCSI drives, each partition for each machine is defined in services.cfg. For example, for one machine I’ve deifined /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda5, /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdc1. Only /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb1 are reported correctly. I’ve checked services.cfg for errors, but there are none.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Sure enough, “check_hpjd –help” confirms that “This plugin tests the STATUS of an HP printer with a JetDirect card.” Any ideas about how I can monitor the status of the Konica?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Dimitri<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
