[Perfparse-users] low bound thresholds

[rene g. <rgr...@fr...>]

Hi all,

I wonder how to inform perfparse about lower bound thresholds.
Monitoring load, disk usage or temperatures are no issues, because the
values for warn and crit are in normal operation greater than the actual
value.

But, when perfparse processes perfdata of check_swap (reports how many
bytes are free) or a plugin that checks fan speeds, the values for warn
and crit are less than the actual value. On the perfparse overview page
they are marked as critical.
Especially for a plugin that returns fan speeds it is hardly possible to
invert the semantics from within the plugin to make perfparse behave
correctly.
Maybe, I am just missing something?!

thanks for ideas and best regards,
 Rene

Hi Rene,

There is a supported mechanism.  Unfortunately not fully supported yet 
by perfparse.

The plugins have a warning/critical format where by a range can be 
selected.  Therefore any threshold can be defined.  As well an inner or 
outer range.

This is explained in more depth here:

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT

Your plugin will need to be edited to correctly use the theses.  You 
will also have to wait until work on PerfParse has been completed. 
Hopefully soon.

I hope this is of help,

Ben Clewett.
