Options for resolution include stopping this check on this host and recompiling the check binary. Because this is checking load on a machine that is expected to be overloaded all the time, I would be in favour of morphing this bug to disable this check for bm-xserve01-05.

I picked check_load arbitrarily - all checks fail on these machines. We need to rebuild for PPC.

No, but that root_partition check is a good one to keep.

Hm, I didn't realize that these were geriatric. On the grounds they're very low priority, and will probably not be running buildbot soon, I agree that we should disable the checks. Morphing the bug for that purpose.

Oops, hit enter early. I think that we can safely disable all of the NRPE checks for these two machines, but keep the pings.

affected machines are now bm-xserve03 bm-xserve04 bm-xserve21

Noting that bm-xserve21 has also been having trouble starting up/shutting down (mentioned in bug 629511)

If this bug is about fixing/removing the nagios checks on PPC boxes then a sick Intel box (bm-xserve21) doesn't belong here.

I've removed all but the ping checks for the hosts bm-xserve03 and bm-xserve04. bm-xserve21 appears to have been mistakenly listed in this ticket since it's listed in the inventory as an intel and it does not error on the checks. That host has been left unchanged.

I just checked the inventory and noted that bm-xserve02 is also a PPC machine and remove the NRPE checks for that one as well.
