Hello everyone, I am having some problems to use the check_log plugin on a remote server to watch for pattern changes in the logfiles. I have 2 PC's, PCL38 running fedora core 2 linux whereas i have another Sun System which is SUN275. I have installed the NRPE plugin on both and i have been running multiple services with the plugin. My pcl38 is the terminal i use through which i monitor sun 275. I am getting the status problem of Return Code of 32 is out of bounds whenever i try to use check_log with sun275 although everything works allright with pcl38. # services.cfg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name pcl38 service_description pcl38 log is_volatile 0 check_period 24x5 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 10 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups Linux-admins,Window-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x5 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_logpcl38 } # checkcommands.cfg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 'check_log' command definition define command{ command_name check_logpcl38 command_line $USER1$/check_log -F /var/log/messages -O /var/log/nagioslog/messages -q Error } On nrpe.cfg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- command[check_logpcl38]=/users/stage/frq03383/nagios/libexec/check_log -F /var/log/messages -O /var/log/nagioslog/messages -q Error This thing works fine, at the first time all my logs from /var/log/messages were copied to /var/log/nagioslog/messages and then the plugin checks for pattern match between the 2 messages and gives me an alert. There is no problems with this on pcl38. however, i have the following problem on sun275 On the nagios console i get the status as : ( Return code of 32 is out of Bounds) The check_log plugin does not seem to work. My configuration is as follws: # services.cfg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name Sun275 service_description Sun275 log is_volatile 0 check_period 24x5 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 10 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups Linux-admins,Window-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x5 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_log275 } # checkcommands.cfg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 'check_log' command definition define command{ command_name check_log275 command_line $USER1$/check_log -F /var/adm/messages -O /users/stage/frq03383/nagioslog/sun275/messages -q Error } nrpe.cfg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- command[check_logpcl38]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_log -F /var/adm/messages -O /users/stage/frq03383/nagioslog/sun275/messages -q Error so this is it, one works the other doesn't particularly the remote server , what am i doing wrong and what does that return code of 32 means, couls someone please help me out. thanks, Subhadeep
