Hi!
I installed and configured nagios to monitor our servers and it took me
a whole day thanx to an error in the documentation.
I installed a utility called NRPE so that i cud execute commands on
remote machine.i setup xinetd and installed the plugins on the remote
host as well.Below are the excerpts of the:::
services.cfg file:
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name nyx
service_description /dev/hda1 Free Space
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups linux-admins
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_disk1
}
checkcommands.cfg file::
define command{
command_name check_nrpe
command_line usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe $HOSTADDRESS$
-c $ARG1$
}
nrpe.cfg file on the remote machine::
#command i want to execute
command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p
/dev/hda1
could neone tell me what`s going wrong.
Nagios display the disk space data of the local machine rather than the
remote machine.
Thanx,
Warm Regards
