From the manual page: -w, --warning STRING or FILE Override the machine-default temperature warning thresholds. Syntax is "id1=max[/min],id2=max[/min],...". The following example sets warning limits to max 50C for probe 0, and max 45C and min 10C for probe 1: check_openmanage -w 0=50,1=45/10 The minimum limit can be omitted, if desired. Most often, you are only interested in setting the maximum thresholds. This parameter can be either a string with the limits, or a file containing the limits string. The option can be specified multiple times. NOTE: This option should only be used to narrow the field of OK temperatures wrt. the OMSA defaults. To expand the field of OK temperatures, increase the OMSA thresholds. See the plugin web page for more information. -c, --critical STRING or FILE Override the machine-default temperature critical thresholds. Syntax and behaviour is the same as for warning thresholds described above. The reason that you need to specify the ID of the temperature probes is that there may be more than one, each with its own thresholds. In your case there is only one probe and its ID is 0, so replace your command above with: check_openmanage -w 0=25 -c 0=30 -H 10.11.12.1 -C Test --only temp That should do the trick.
