check_file_count

Nagios Clinet (NRPE) is giving perfect output while the same doesn't happen from Nagios Core Server.

Here is the state:

On NRPE (Nagios Client) Server:-

./check_file_count -t=all -s=yes -wt=high -w 250 -c 300 -p=yes /var/named/
OK: Number of files and directories in /var/named/ is 216 (Warn=250, Crit=300) Files=213, Directories=3 | Total=216Count;250;300 Files=213Files 'Directories'=3Directories

From Nagios Core Server:-
./check_nrpe -H 172.16.1.10 -c check_file_count
OK: Number of files and directories in /var/named/ is -1 (Warn=250, Crit=300) Files=0, Directories=-1 | Total=-1Count;250;300 Files=0Files 'Directories'=-1Directories

Something is wrong with the script or call from Nagios Server. May be sudo...!!!

Please Guide.

I was not getting the perfdata values until my coleague recommended to change the line 238
"Performance data in the actual script (check_file_count) seems to be in row no 238 which is:
PERFDATA="| Total=$FILECOUNT"Count";$TESTEDWARN;$TESTEDCRIT Files=$FILENUMBER"Files" 'Directories'=$DIRNUMBER"Directories""
So commented the above and put the below line and it worked:
PERFDATA="| Total=$FILECOUNT;$TESTEDWARN;$TESTEDCRIT Files=$FILENUMBER Directories=$DIRNUMBER"

great plugin, even if i had to do few modifications. you have to be noticed some options are not supported by some 'find' versions ... so in my case i just had to remove the '-nowarn' from the script.

thanks

for a valid search without subdirectory you need to add "maxdepth 1" on line 219 :

else if [ $SUBS = "-s=no" -a $TYPE = "-t=file" ]; then
219 FILECOUNT=$(echo `find $TESTEDDIR -nowarn -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l`)
220 FILENUMBER=$FILECOUNT
221 DIRNUMBER="0"

Need to change all "==" to "=". Once that was done, and ALL paramaters where specified, it worked well
