Nagios NRPE: Unable to read output

[Marquez, Quentin]

Hi Alen,

 

I don't know much about this plugin, but it looks like your command
requires root permission.

Thus you would need to setup a sudo command to run
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/tsmonitor db

Then use your new sudo command in your nrpe.cfg :

command[tsmonitor_db]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/tsmonitor db

 

Cheers,

Quentin

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios NRPE: Unable to read output

 

Hello!

 

I know that this post is nothing new, but I still didn't find any
solution for it.

 

I am working on a AIX 5.3 machine with NRPE running under inetd.

 

On the local AIX machine the command for TSM works fine ...

 

# ./tsmonitor db

db - database utilization 0%, OK

 

But when I start if from the Nagios server ... 

 

# ./check_nrpe -n -t 60 -H 172.21.100.121 -c tsmonitor_db

NRPE: Unable to read output

 

or from the AIX machine with the NRPE I get ...

 

# ./check_nrpe -n -t 60 -H localhost -c tsmonitor_db

NRPE: Unable to read output

 

The nrpe.cfg file is properly configured with the commands

 

command[tsmonitor_db]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/tsmonitor db

command[check_disk/]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p
/

 

Where check_disk/ works fine, but tsmonitor_db NOT!

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Best regards, 

 

Alen
