check_graph_nt

[sgrynd Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sgrynd]

Finally got everything up and working correctly but I do have a couple of questions.

1. I am using the check_graph_nt for pull down the total number of active terminal servers sessions. Doing this by using the COUNTER function, which says it can't be graphed, but I am wondering if there is away around this. The check returns a single number and seems to me it should be able to be graphed. Any ideas?

2. Is it possible to change the graph sizing, i.e. memory is currently done in K .

1. COUNTER in check_graph_nt is enable on 1.2.3 RC1

2. not actually, in future release, we hope

I am using 1.2.3 RC1 and it doesn't seem to be working.


My command is:
$USER1$/check_graph_nt.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ -l $ARG2$ -S $ARG3$ -w $ARG4$ -c $ARG5$ -g
My arguments are :

!COUNTER!"Terminal ServicesActive Sessions","Total Active Sessions is %.f"!7!85!90

Any thoughts?

what is the ouptut command ?

you need to specify entire counter... like \\Terminal Services\Active Sessions

[sgrynd Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sgrynd]

Hmm, not sure where my slashes went.

!COUNTER!"\\Terminal Services\\Active Sessions","Total Active Sessions is %.f"!9!85!90

When I go into Oreon and choose to modify the service check it only shows !COUNTER! and not my trailing arguements.

So thinking something was a miss I deleted it and created a new one using what is above.

If I run the command from the command line:

 ./check_graph_nt.pl -H 10.162.0.16 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\Terminal Services\\Active Sessions","Total Active Sessions is %.f" -S 9 -w 85 -c 90 -g
Total Active Sessions is 61

Which is correct, and that is what Oreon lists as well. But the graph remains the same as the attachement above.

Also a seperate issue, I went back into modify the arguements on the most recent one and had the same issue, if I click on Modify is lists just the !COUNTER! and i need to re-enter the line. It generates it correctly in the check command file, just not back in the Oreon GUI.

when you just view service conf (not edit), slashes are here ?

your gpc_magic_quote is on or off (php.ini) ?

ahh... no it is a problem with "
it's fix in next release

[sgrynd Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sgrynd]

Actually, when I just view the service I get

!COUNTER!"\Terminal Services\Active Sessions","Total Active Sessions is %.f"!9!85!90

it only shows 1 slash, but I entered 2.

Looking at the service.cfg I find this

define service{
        service_description             Users
        host_name                               CAONCAM1TS002
        check_command                   check_graph_nt!COUNTER!"\Terminal Services\Active Sessions","Total Active Sessions is %.f"!9!85!90!9
        max_check_attempts                      3
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        active_checks_enabled           1
        check_period                    24x7
        freshness_threshold             0
        low_flap_threshold                      0
        high_flap_threshold             0
        notification_interval           15
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c,r
        contact_groups                  sysadmins
        }

Do I need to enter a 3rd slash? Is this " problem something that would be affecting the graphs?

if you run

./check_graph_nt.pl -H 10.162.0.16 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\Terminal Services\Active Sessions","Total Active Sessions is %.f" -w 85 -c 90

?

we also fix (we hope) a bug with \ in command argument...

[sgrynd Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sgrynd]

It returns: Total Active Sessions is 64

[wistof Module Contributor Find all posts View Profile Close wistof]

ok, try to remove "Total Active Sessions is %.f"

[sgrynd Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sgrynd]

That is right where I was heading. If I remove the "Total Active Sessions is %.f"

My argument is now

!COUNTER!"\Terminal Services\Active Sessions",!15!85!90

And it returns a value of 57, but the graph shows 0.

[sgrynd Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sgrynd]

I spoke to soon, the graph just didn't update yet! It is working now!

Thankyou for all your help!!!!!!!!!

[wistof Module Contributor Find all posts View Profile Close wistof]

My argument is now

!COUNTER!"\Terminal Services\Active Sessions",!15!85!90

be careful

Came across a problem which your probably are aware of since you mentined the problem with the " and \'s.

I create my arguements with \\ in them, after the first apply they are switched to \. From there I can generate files 2 more times, after the 2nd time the \'s are gone and the check returns a 0. Going back into fix it is easy enough, just a pain.

Let me know if you need more clarification.
