You misunderstand. When using ranges, the given range are the limits on the OK range, and anything outside that triggers the alert. As per your explanation above, I would assume -c 500000: -w 550000: would be reasonable values. That will cause a critical alert when the value is below 500000 and a warning value when it's below 550000. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
