Hello, I’m trying having trouble getting check logs to work. As a test, I’ve been monitoring Apache’s error.log for any new lines (with the regular expression reg_exp => ‘.*’; When I run check_logs.pl from the command line (logged in as root) it works fine, returning any new lines from the file. When run from Nagios, however, it returns either OK and a note that the plugin didn’t return anything, or if I chmod 666 error.log CRITICAL with the message ‘return code of 13 out of bounds.’ This leads me to believe it’s a problem with permissions, but I have no idea how I to fix them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Martin. </BODY> </HTML>
