Icinga2 check_load threshold on master node - configuration-files

Question

I'm having an issue locating where to change the thresholds for the check_load plugin on the Icinga2 master node.

Answer 1

The best way is to redefine that command by adding the following to your commands.conf file in your conf.d directory. Add the following replacing <load> with whatever you want to call the command:
object CheckCommand "<load>" {
import "plugin-check-command"
command = [ PluginDir + "/check_load" ]
timeout = 1m
arguments += {
"-c" = {
description = "Exit with CRITICAL status if load average exceed CLOADn; the load average format is the same used by 'uptime' and 'w'"
value = "$load_cload1$,$load_cload5$,$load_cload15$"
}
"-r" = {
description = "Divide the load averages by the number of CPUs (when possible)"
set_if = "$load_percpu$"
}
"-w" = {
description = "Exit with WARNING status if load average exceeds WLOADn"
value = "$load_wload1$,$load_wload5$,$load_wload15$"
}
}
vars.load_cload1 = 10
vars.load_cload15 = 4
vars.load_cload5 = 6
vars.load_percpu = false
vars.load_wload1 = 5
vars.load_wload15 = 3
vars.load_wload5 = 4
}
The values you'll want to change are vars.load_cload1-15 and vars.wload1-15 or set them to varibles that you can set in the service definition with $variablename$.
Then in services.conf use the new name of your check command.
