check_cpu + nsclient : set critical threshold only on 5min period












0















I am using centreon (nagios) to monitor the CPUs of some VMs using NSClient. In my case it makes only sense to set the critical state of the cpu probe if the average cpu load is > 95 over the 5m period. Is this achievable ?



I cannot find documentation on how to specify that in the critical param



Default command



check_cpu


Returns



CPU Load ok
'total 5m load'=0%;80;90 'total 1m load'=0%;80;90 'total 5s load'=7%;80;90


Command with specific threshold (but all time period can match)



check_cpu "critical=load > 90"

          It is not exactly what I wanted to do but what I did is the following



          check_nrpe -u -H XX.XXX.X.XXX -c check_cpu -a "crit=load > 95" "warn=load > 90" time=5m


          Which limits the output to the 5m time period.



          Note that to execute this from centreon you have to set the following variables inside the nsclient.ini file (waisted a lot of time on that one)



          [/settings/NRPE/server]
          allow nasty characters=true

          [/settings/external scripts]
          allow nasty characters=true
