Hello everyone,
I am having some problems to use the check_log plugin on a remote server
to watch for pattern changes in the logfiles. I have 2 PC's, PCL38 running
fedora core 2 linux whereas i have another Sun System which is SUN275. I
have installed the NRPE plugin on both and i have been running multiple
services with the plugin. My pcl38 is the terminal i use through which i
monitor sun 275. I am getting the status problem of Return Code of 32 is
out of bounds whenever i try to use check_log with sun275 although
everything works allright with pcl38.
# services.cfg
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name pcl38
service_description pcl38 log
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x5
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups Linux-admins,Window-admins
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x5
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_logpcl38
}
# checkcommands.cfg
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 'check_log' command definition
define command{
command_name check_logpcl38
command_line $USER1$/check_log -F /var/log/messages -O
/var/log/nagioslog/messages -q Error
}
On nrpe.cfg
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
command[check_logpcl38]=/users/stage/frq03383/nagios/libexec/check_log -F
/var/log/messages -O /var/log/nagioslog/messages -q Error
This thing works fine, at the first time all my logs from
/var/log/messages were copied to /var/log/nagioslog/messages and then the
plugin checks for pattern match between the 2 messages and gives me an
alert. There is no problems with this on pcl38.
however, i have the following problem on sun275
On the nagios console i get the status as : ( Return code of 32 is out of
Bounds)
The check_log plugin does not seem to work. My configuration is as follws:
# services.cfg
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name Sun275
service_description Sun275 log
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x5
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups Linux-admins,Window-admins
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x5
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_log275
}
# checkcommands.cfg
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 'check_log' command definition
define command{
command_name check_log275
command_line $USER1$/check_log -F /var/adm/messages -O
/users/stage/frq03383/nagioslog/sun275/messages -q Error
}
nrpe.cfg
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
command[check_logpcl38]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_log -F
/var/adm/messages -O /users/stage/frq03383/nagioslog/sun275/messages -q
Error
so this is it, one works the other doesn't particularly the remote server
, what am i doing wrong and what does that return code of 32 means, couls
someone please help me out.
thanks,
Subhadeep
