tracing nagios actions

[Daniel Wittenberg]

Also you probably want to make sure you run the command as the nagios
user, or whatever the user is that the service runs as, to make sure you
are getting the right environment and permissions.

Yes, run the actual command from the command line as Steve demonstrated.

 

Make sure which command is being used, and if you run the command with
no parameters it will display the correct usage.

Mark,

I think Salvatore means run the check manually from the command line ,
make sure you run it as the nagios user and try setting tha warning &
critical values to something that will make it fail also:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec > ./check_disk -w 50 -c 70 -p /home
DISK OK - free space: /home 440 MB (95% inode=99%);|
/home=20MB;436;416;0;486

The -p just checks a specific path.  ( FYI )

Steve

Hi Salvatore,

 

They're all Unix (Redhat) servers. By check command do you mean nagios
-v? I've done that and I do not get an errors.

 

Thanks,

Mark

Are these Windows or *nix server?

 

Either wau run the check command manually from a console and see what
the results are.

Hi,

 

I have a small-ish number of servers and I've tried to configure Nagios
to warn me about disk-space running low. The problem is that, although
disk space is above both warning and critical levels I'm not getting any
notifications.

 

The nagios.log file is silent on the topic and nagios -v does not
produce any errors or warnings.

 

Is there a way to trace what actions nagios is considering (much like
make -n) in order to debug this problem? Is there a debugging
methodology defined somewhere? If it's in your head can you share?

 

Thanks,

Mark
