eventhandle not being executed. bug?

[Kurt Ramsden]

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup an eventhandler but it seems that it is never being
called/executed.  I have been over my configs with a fine-tooth comb,
and I just can't figure this out.  Here are my configs:

misccommands.cfg:

define command{
        command_name    restart_test.sh
        command_line    $USER2$/restart_test $SERVICESTATE$
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$
        } # $USER2$ is a macro for /opt/nagios/libexec/eventhandle


nagios.cfg:

enable_event_handlers=1


services.cfg:

# Generic service definition template
define service{
        name                            generic-service ; The 'name' of
this service template, referenced in other service definitions
        active_checks_enabled           1       ; Active service checks
are enabled
        passive_checks_enabled          1       ; Passive service checks
are enabled/accepted
        parallelize_check               1       ; Active service checks
should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance
problems)
        obsess_over_service             1       ; We should obsess over
this service (if necessary)
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        check_freshness                 0       ; Default is to NOT
check service 'freshness'
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Service notifications
are enabled
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Service event handler
is enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is enabled
        process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance data
        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status
information across program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r,u
        process_perf_data               0

        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }


and the service:
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use
        host_name                       tmail
        service_description             msgStor Partition
        max_check_attempts              4
        event_handler_enabled           1
        event_handler                   restart_test
        contact_groups                  solaris-admins
        check_command                   snmp_disk!7!84!89
        }


at this point, all I have in restart_test.sh is this (I cannot get any
output from this script into restart_test.log which is leading me to
believe that its not being called):

#!/bin/sh

echo "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" >>./restart_test.log

exit 0


and directory perms:

nagios at excalibur-mgt:~/libexec/eventhandlers> ls -la
total 10
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios  112 2007-06-05 14:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   2168 2007-05-29 12:37 ..
-rwxr-xr-- 1 nagios nagios   65 2007-06-05 14:41 restart_test.sh


The nagios logs state that it is being called, but I don't think so:

[1180991106] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;No
valid data returned
[1180991106] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tmail;msgStor

Partition;UNKNOWN;HARD;4;restart_test
[1180991306] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;iPlanet Partition;UNKNOWN;HARD;4;No
valid data returned


by forcing an error (setting the script to no execute) I know that its
being passed the args:

[1181065075] Warning: Attempting to execute the command
"/opt/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart_test.sh UNKNOWN SOFT 1
<some_IP>" resulted in a return code of 126.  Make sure the script or
binary you are trying to execute actually exists...


There you have it.  Can anyone help?
Thanks,
    Kurt
