check_pressure - check whether the given filesystems are mounted

[/etc/nrpe.d/check_pressure]
command[check_pressure]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_pressure

Usage note

This plugin checks Linux Pressure Stall Information (PSI) data.
Copyright (C) 2020 Davide Madrisan <davide.madrisan@gmail.com>

Usage:
  check_pressure --cpu [-w COUNTER] [-c COUNTER] [delay]
  check_pressure --io [--full] [-w COUNTER] [-c COUNTER] [delay]
  check_pressure --memory [--full] [-w COUNTER] [-c COUNTER] [delay]

Options:
  -C, --cpu       return the cpu pressure metrics
  -i, --io        return the io (block layer/filesystems) pressure metrics
  -m, --memory    return the memory pressure metrics
  -f, --full      select the data labeled "full" to calculate thresholds
                  instead of the one with "some" (io and memory only)
  -w, --warning COUNTER   warning threshold (in microseconds/s)
  -c, --critical COUNTER   critical threshold (in microseconds/s)
  -h, --help      display this help and exit
  -V, --version   output version information and exit
  "delay" is the delay in seconds between two proc reads (default: 1sec)

Note:
  It requires at least a kernel 4.20, which provides this information in the
  /proc/pressure folder.

Examples:
  check_pressure --cpu
  check_pressure --io
  check_pressure --memory --full 100 2
