graph reading

Post by kalyanpabolu »

Hi Team,

We want to understand how to read the graph for CPU Load in Nagios. I can see some "m%" value in graph which I am unable to read.
Can you please help us on the same?

Hi kalyanpabolu,

I'd like to take a look at the plugin you are using. Can you post this to the thread? In most cases, they return the 1, 5, and 15-minute load averages on the system. For example,

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_load -r -w 0.15,0.10,0.05 -c 0.30,0.25,0.20
CRITICAL - load average: 1.17, 0.92, 0.77|load1=1.170;0.150;0.300;0; load5=0.920;0.100;0.250;0; load15=0.770;0.050;0.200
If you need assistance in finding the specific plugin command, the following guide is helpful. Thanks, Benjamin

HI @kalyanpabolu,

I'd like to see which plugin you are using, and then I can review the code and provide more information on the graph output.

Thanks,
Benjamin

Hello kalyanpabolu,

Thanks for the file. It's binary but it looks like that is our check_load plugin. Please run the check command directly from the CLI and post the output?

Nagios XI - How To Test Check Commands From The Command-line

In the first screenshot posted, there is a custom timeframe shown, where in the Nagios XI interface you pulling the chart, some elements there do not match my test system. In the status details page, there is not the option to select a custom time period.

Please enable Highcharts by going to Admin > System Config > System Settings > Theme & Display as highcharts does not use the same graph templates and post a screenshot of the results. There could be an error in the current template.
