Subject: [Nagios-users] A question on using send_nsca
I am trying to send a test job to my nagios server from a monitored client using send_nsca. I am running suse linux 10 on both client & nagios server.
Currently, everything is working correctly from within nagios using send_nsca as I am set up as distributed environment. I am now in the process of taking some in house built scripts & trying to send the results to nagios via send_nsca.
My issue is, if I do this from the command line :
/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H NAGIOSSERVER -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg < /tmp/test
I see the check come across to the nagios server ( granted it doesn't know what to do with it as the info is not set up in Nagios. The /tmp/test file is nothing more than a tab delimited file as this :
HOSTNAME TestMessage 0 This is a test message.
What I have been trying to do is run the same thing above, without the redirect to a discrete file. Every way I try it it fails and just shows me the help page for send_nsca.
Should I be able to do this some way like this ?
/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H NAGIOSSERVER -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg HOSTNAME TestMessage 0 This is a test message
It appears that the format of the message is incorrect. I am not getting any tab in between the parameters. I have tried using a \t and [tab] but still not working. Also tried doing an echo -e of the above with a xargs but not correct.
Blaming this actually on my scripting skills more than Nagios :)
Can anyone shed some light / point me in a direction what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Steve
