Project Notes
This is a variant on the check script made by Andreas Baess with some new features. This Plugin provides hopefully all the info you would ever need about your CPU: - Returns Stats for User, System, and IOWait - Allows for setting Warning/Critical levels globally or for each individual stat - When a Warning or Critical threshold is reached for User or System stats, the plugin also returns a list of the 5 processes using the most CPU - Returns Performance Data Plugin Requirements: - IOStat This is not included by default with all linux distros. To install on Ubuntu (and probably other Debian variants) - apt-get install sysstat Usage Info (this can also be found using -h): -w : Global Warning level in % for user/system/io-wait cpu -uw : Warning level in % for user cpu -iw : Warning level in % for IO_wait cpu -sw : Warning level in % for system cpu -c : Global Critical level in % for user/system/io-wait cpu -uc : Critical level in % for user cpu -ic : Critical level in % for IO_wait cpu -sc : Critical level in % for system cpu -i : Interval in seconds for iostat (default : 1) -n : Number report for iostat (default : 3) I have also included a pnp4nagios template for any interested.
