check_icmp issues warning and does not run

[Nguyen, Tham]

Hi,

 

I defined the check_icmp service in my localhost.cfg & commands.cfg
files on the monitoring server and got this warning:

 

 

ICMP   UNKNOWN   05-29-2008 11:08:33   0d 1h 54m 20s   3/3   Warning:
This plugin must be either run as root or setuid root. 

 

commands.cfg

 

define command{

        command_name                check_icmp

        command_line                   $USER1$/check_icmp -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$

        }

 

localhost.cfg

 

define service{

use                                           generic-service

host_name                                sun-ae-server001

service_description                     ICMP

check_command                       check_nrpe!check_icmp

}

 

I also checked under /usr/local/nagios/libexec folder and check_icmp is
running under user root.  I changed root to nagios user and it produced
the same error.

 

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  85170 May 15 16:26 check_icmp

 

These 2 commands ran fine:

 

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cf

0 errors

service nagios restart

 

 

Any help is really appreciated.  Thanks!

 

 

Tham N.
