You need to download and install the plugins, and they'll endup in /usr/local/libexec/nagios... :) "Nicholas P.

Currently, I'm getting the error: "(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)" - which would be expected, and in fact was expected in regards to something like the free-space, or Current Users checks, but I wouldn't think for the ping. I would have to install client software for the the other checks, but not for ping. I'm sure that this has been discussed before, and I apologize. This is happening in essentially the default install but I didn't see anything in the installation/configuration guide that discussed this. This is my first time setting up nagios, and the only thing that I could find that seemed even close to relevant was this: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=17 but from what I <THINK>I understand, nagios got rid of the /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory when it changed over from netsaint -> nagios. I did an "fgrep ping *" in the nagios/etc directory to see if I could figure out what nagios was calling to try and ping the server (one would think /bin/ping but you never know) and the only thing I could come up with is that in the checkcommands.cfg file the check_ping command is defined as: # 'check_ping' command definition define command{ command_name check_ping command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5 } and resource.cfg:$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec Am I daft, or just missing something? It seems like the /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory should have been created during installation and there should be a *bunch* of stuff in it. Could someone point to where I can get these f iles? Any help or explanations would be very greatly appreciated.
