The checks assume a basic familiarity with standard nagios checks and practices. See https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT
What you want is "-w 2:" and "-c 1:". See the link above for what that means.
If you'd like to create an issue about better documentation go ahead,but the thresholds follow standard nagios practice and will not change.
check_throughput_owdelay.pl provides a richer set of thresholds based on the latency of the path. There is a help screen, if you can't figure it out from that then a) you probably don't need to be using it or b) can wait for better documentation.
Hi Andy,
I have been programming Nagios tests since 2011 and I bet you have not even checked anything about the issue. I believe your assumptions here are wrong.
If you could please comment on this:

Why don't you and I have a zoom chat so we can address your concerns as opposed to going back and forth in an issue. Let me know in slack when you're available.
Many apologies here. Obviously I have been blind and omitting the syntax. Many thanks for the special attention
Hi guys,
I am looking at the Nagios tests... I see nagios/bin/check_throughput_owdelay.pl and /nagios/bin/check_throughput.pl kind of sharing same purpose....anyway I could not find proper parameters for the first one, but the latter one worked...kind of. The problem with the working one is the evaluation. How exactly do you use it like this?
nagios/bin/check_throughput.pl -u http://geant.net/esmond/perfsonar/archive -d 62.40.106.147 -s 62.40.106.131 -r 9000 -w 1 -c 2 PS_CHECK_THROUGHPUT OK - Average throughput is 0.993Gbps | Count=2;; Min=0.992365;; Max=0.993754;; Average=0.9930595;; Standard_Deviation=0.000982171319068115;;
This one demonstrates that Throughput is OK only if the Warning and Critical values are above the measured throughput. To me this makes no sense, but I know you are doing proper evaluation, so I am not sure if I am on the right script or you are putting a different meaning behind the critical and warning values.
Best regards, Ivan
