Nagios plugin (script) to check cpu utilization statistics. This script has been designed and written on Unix plateform (Linux, Aix, Solaris), requiring iostat as external program. The location of these can easily be changed by editing the variables $IOSTAT at the top of the script. The script is used to query 6 of the key cpu statistics (user,system,iowait,idle,nice and steal if possible) at the same time. Note though that there is now set of warning and critical values for user,system and iowait percent.
Usage : ./check_cpu_stats.sh -w -c ( -i -n )
# Exemple: ./check_cpu_stats.sh
# ./check_cpu_stats.sh -w 70,40,30 -c 90,50,40
# ./check_cpu_stats.sh -w 90,40,30 -c 90,50,40 -i 3 -n 5
CPU STATISTICS WARNING : user=0.00% system=20.77% iowait=32.37% idle=46.86% nice=0.00% steal=0.00% | CpuUser=0.00;CpuSystem=20.77;CpuIowait=32.37;CpuIdle=46.86;CpuNice=0.00;CpuSteal=0.00;40,20,30;50,30,45
You can use too provided nagiosgrapher template for this plugin.

hi sbosek team
really great plug-in!
but, i found some miss information if there is process name with space-bar as shown below.
# ksh check_cpu_stats.sh
CPU STATISTICS OK : user=4.58% system=2.35%, iowait=1.64%, idle=88.83%, nice=2.60%, steal=0.00%;Top 5 CPU Processes(cpu%,pname,pid): 29.3% pigz 1329275, 25.5% english 1407819, 13.3% spamd child, 1137260% 13.2 php, 1410968% 8.8 mysqld 2945555%| CpuUser=4.58%;70;90;0; CpuSystem=2.35%;40;60;0; CpuIowait=1.64%;30;40;0; CpuIdle=88.83%;0;0;0; CpuNice=2.60%;0;0;0; CpuSteal=0.00%;0;0;0;
some process percentage are 1137260% etc.
quite sure it caused by a daemon name with "spamd child". the space-bar caused some malfunction with your great script parsing.
can wait your next release guys!
thanks

I made it compatible with POSIX-conformant sh.
Is any license condition on redistributing the modified code?

I ran it with option show on the page on Suse linux 11 and I get following output
nagios@cubic:~> ./check_cpu_stats.sh -w 90,40,30 -c 90,50,40 -i 3 -n 5
./check_cpu_stats.sh: line 172: [: 90,40,30: integer expression expected
./check_cpu_stats.sh: line 175: [: 90,50,40: integer expression expected

nagios@cubic:~>
Integre expression expected is one issue and second thing idle is always empty.
if I run it like this then i don't get integer expression but Idle is still empty
nagios@cubic:~> ./check_cpu_stats.sh -w 90 -c 95 -i 2 -n 10
CPU STATISTICS WARNING : user=7.25% system=2.62% iowait=90.12% idle=% nice=0.00% | CpuUser=7.25;CpuSystem=2.62;CpuIoWait=90.12;CpuIdle=;CpuNice=0.00;90;95
nagios@cubic:~>
also you can see that its warning just because IoWait is hitting 90%

i install ksh in gentoo and now it produces output from command line:
nagios@srvmonm /usr/lib/nagios/plugins $ ./check_cpu_stats2.3.6.sh
CPU STATISTICS CRITICAL : user=176% system=7.1%, iowait=0%, idle=2%, nice=21%, steal=0% | CpuUser=176%;70;90;0; CpuSystem=7.1%;40;60;0; CpuIowait=0%;30;40;0; CpuIdle=2%;0;0;0; CpuNice=21%;0;0;0; CpuSteal=0%;0;0;0;
it also works in nagios. Moreover, now it checks other linux systems through nrpe and draws graphs in nagios.
i can't imagine anything else to tune up :)

works locally in nagios and through command line but doesn't work through nrpe (gives can't read output) and doesn't graph with pnp4nagios.
Owner's reply
Bug corrected in perfdata for pnp in 2.3.6. Can you retry with this new release please.
