Recommended settings for nagios plugins

I would like to setup percona’s mysql plugin with nagios. I see that there are several tools with different command line options for nagios.

However, instead of guessing the “warning”, “critical” settings as well # of inputs to track, I would like to see if there is already an existing list that I can leverage.

Is there a list of recommended settings for nagios?

Thanks,

Hello,

Usually, the defaults are recommended thresholds. Here is some example.

And yes, it would be great to have the Nagios config template in the documentation.

aaahhh … cool. Thanks.

Hi, Please tell - where i can find more config templates for percona monitoring tools for Nagios/Icinga?

Thanks for help, nice discussion, really helpful.

Hello,

I am a newbie to Nagios and Percona database. I am trying to setup the monitor on nagios core 4.02 to monitor the MySQL Cluster.

I am having hard time to make the monitor to work with the plugins.

I defined the following command on the remote server’s nrpe_local.cfg.

pmp-check-mysql-status -l $USER3$ -p $USER4$ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -x Threads_connected -o / -y max_connections -T pct -w 80 -c 95

(Of course, I replaced the username, password and hostaddress with all the appropriate info.)

and I got the following output on the monitoring server. [TABLE=“class: text_table”]
[TR]
[TD=“class: text_table_dataVal”]awk: line 8: syntax error at or near )
awk: line 13: syntax error at or near if
awk: line 24: syntax error at or near exit
CRIT Threads_connected / max_connections (pct) = 1.986755[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD=“class: text_table_dataVar”]Performance Data:[/TD]
[TD=“class: text_table_dataVal”]Threads_connected/max_connections=1.986755;80;95$;0;100[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

can someone tell me how to fix it ?

quick question. Am I supposed to define the command line into the remote server’s nrpe_local.cfg or should i define it into the monitoring server’s commands.cfg?

Could someone shed some light with me?

Thanks for looking at my post and for your help in advance.

I have been scratching my head in these days and still no clues why it’s not working.

I am really appreciated for any helps.

Thanks,

Thanks weber for sharing the details to s[COLOR=#252C2F]etup percona’s mysql plugin with nagios. I tried to run the same with the command lines you have given, and it worked well. I will get back to you if there is any error.

Hello!

I was reading on your conversation and I was a bit enlightened but honestly until now I am still confused how to setup Percona’s mysql plugins with nagios because there lots of commands on it. Need to explore more and actually I’ve been searching a lot and reading to many forums but this convo gives me more idea now.

Thanks Bro!
