nrpe.cfg.in thresholds for check_load #205

Closed frayber closed 4 years ago

frayber commented 5 years ago

Please refer to https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/issues/171 Even if it's not simple set general cpu_load thresholds for every system, I suggest to increase these values because are too low. Generally, 1 for core is considered the bottleneck, so I suggest these new values.

Personally, I'd like to see everything lowered by 10% to:

command[check_load]=@pluginsdir@/check_load -r -w .8,.7,.6 -c .9,.8,.7

This gives the warnings time to mean something to someone who's paying attention to capacity planning.

These could be sane values too.

Thanks for the contribution!

I agree that these are saner defaults, but I'm going to decline this due to backward compatibility issues. If someone is already using this check in production, and installs this coming version of NRPE (plus this patch) on a new server without updating their old daemons, they now have different behavior for their two servers which are monitored using the same check_command in Nagios Core.
