check_perc.pl

[Robert Ferguson]

Hi Karl,

Actually, I have run it as nagios (as well as root) also and I am
getting the correct responses at the command line.  I often over look
that sort of thing, so thanks for looking out for me.  To be honest, I
was running it as root for some time and then starting reading posts
about running it as nagios.  

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,

Robert

Robert - 

Let me guess, you're running it as root... ? Remember that the Nagios
user is very unprivileged, and if you're having a problem with it
running things, you may need to wrap the command so that it can run as a
privileged user.

Good Afternoon

 

I am having an issue with this plugin.  Maybe one of you can help.  I am
receiving a null return when nagios runs this command, however when
running on command line, it returns just fine.  Here is my command
definition and define service:

 

# 'check_perc.pl' command definition

define command{

                command_name             check_perc

                command_line                  $USER1$/check_perc.pl -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -D $ARG2$ -T $ARG3$

                }

 

define service{

                use
local-service

                host_name                         HostNameHere

                service_description        Check Perc

                check_command             check_perc!public!phys!am

                }

 

As I said, I have been successful in running this at the command line
both as root and as nagiosuser.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Robert
