One of the scripts that I am using is the check_folder_size script. The Nagios server is on one subnet, while the client is on another. The connection between the two is via a 10GB WAN connection. The script is configured on the client to send warnings when the folder in question reaches 500 gigabytes. The entire disk that the folder is on is four terabytes. The script appears to be doing its job pretty well, but I notice that occasionally I will get timeout issues with the script. I suspect the configuration of the script on the Nagios server is the cause, and I wanted to get feedback as to the best settings to have for the script. The current configuration is shown below: # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name <hostname> service_description Folder Size Active 1 is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 1440 retry_check_interval 720 contact_groups linux-admins notification_interval 1440 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_folder_size1 } Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings would be better here?
