NSClient++ Help (#1) - NSCA disk space check (#711) - Message List

Hey all!

Im newly registered here and im hoping i can get som good ideas from here :)

Anyway, ive just got NSCA to work with passive checks to my nagios server. I can see cpu and memory outtakes fine, but i cant see the free disk space. I may have configured something wrong but i cant figure out what. And therefore im asking the experts, you!

If you need more info, i can happily give it to you. Worth pointing out is that i have got our internal computers to be monitored no rpoblem at all with the hard-drives there, so im kinda confused how to get it to work with passive checks.

this is from the host.cfg, remember i only want PASSIVE checks, not active (the stuff is behind firewalls):

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               ILCO
        service_description     C:\ Drive Space
        check_command           check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
        }

This is from the nsc.ini, ive blank out the passwords though, sorry! ;)

;# ENCRYPTION METHOD
;   This option determines the method by which the send_nsca client will encrypt the packets it sends

;   performance, as strong encryption methods consume more processor resources.
;   You should evaluate your security needs when choosing an encryption method.
;
; Note: The encryption method you specify here must match the decryption method the nsca daemon uses
;       (as specified in the nsca.cfg file)!!
