check_nrpe trouble

[Mike Hanby]

Could this be an SELinux issue? (modify below to point to the correct
paths):

You can test if this is the case before executing the chcon commands by
running:

$ sudo echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

Then let schedule another nrpe check, if it succeeds, then run the chcon
commands.

$ sudo echo 1 > /selinux/enforce
$ sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
$ sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/share/
$ sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nrpe trouble

Hi,

I'm having trouble with check_nrpe and I don't know whats wrong, what
I'm doing wrong.
I followed the nagios and nrpe doc's  but it don't work :-P

/var/log/nagios2/nagios.log says:
SERVICE ALERT: otherhost;nrpe_load;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;(No output returned
from plugin)

But if I run the command on the terminal window it works happily:
$ sudo -u nagios /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H otherhost -c
check_load
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00|load1=0.....

Hope someone has som clues what could be wrong.


The Nagios server host is a i386 smp with Debian Etch  and otherhost
is a amd64 x2 also with Debian Etch.

On the Nagios server I'm runnig:
nagios2 2.6-2+etch1
nagios-nrpe-plugin 2.5.1-3
nagios-nrpe-server 2.5.1-3

on otherhost:
nagios-nrpe-plugin 2.5.1-3
nagios-nrpe-server 2.5.1-3

Nagios config:
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       otherhost
        service_description             nrpe_load
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_load
        }

nrpe config:
command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20
