<DIV>Thanks for the reply, while I was debugging I added;</DIV> <DIV>my $exitval = 0; To the script and everything started working, don't know why, but it works..... :)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Tedman Eng <teng@dataway.com> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Try this in your command line: fwlogs# ./check_apc_ups.pl -H 10.128.16.9; echo "Exit code $?" The exist code is how Nagios determines the status. The output is just informational. You should see something like this: Output status: onLine Rem time: 0:41:00.00 Battery status: batteryNormal Battery temp(C): 35 Battery repl: noBatteryNeedsReplacing Output load (%): 37 Diag result: OK Exit code 3 <-- or some other number The corresponding exit code to Nagios status is: 0 - okay 1 - warning 2 - critical 3 - unknown If the exit code from command-line is different that Nagios's status when run in the system, then check your check_command definition and corresponding service definition. If you're getting '3', try setting warning and critical thresholds? If you're STILL getting '3' after that, then try chec king each SNMP OID using snmpget: # snmpget -c community Host-IP OID For OID, substitute each of these values: example # snmpget -c public 10.128.16.9 .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0 upsBasicOutputStatus = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0" upsBasicBatteryStatus = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.1.1.0" upsAdvInputLineFailCause = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.3.2.5.0" upsAdvBatteryTemperature = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.2.0" upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0" upsAdvBatteryReplaceIndicator = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.4.0" upsAdvOutputLoad = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.3.0" upsAdvTestDiagnosticsResults = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.7.2.3.0" This should get you pointed in the right direction.
