Well again I want to tell u that the uptime script is a 3 line code: #!/bin/bash uptime exit(0) But the problem I had found with uptime only in the Host Detail. The Service Details are running good as if now. <div>On 2/27/07, Jim Avery <<a href="mailto:jim@jimavery.me.uk" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> jim@jimavery.me.uk</a>> wrote:<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 27/02/07, sujith h <<a href="mailto:sujith.linux@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">sujith.linux@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > And when i run the > script check_uptime, the plugin for nagios written by me, it gives me > my machine is up for 2 days. But when nagios runs it , shows that > my machine was up for 2 mins. The format of the output of uptime will change after a day or so. My desktop machine here which I turned on this morning shows this: jim@behemoth:~$ uptime 15:43:58 up 5:01, 2 users, load average: 0.47, 0.64, 0.72 and my web-server upstairs which has been going for a while shows this: jim@babyblue:~$ uptime 15:46:16 up 17 days, 2:54, 1 user, load average: 2.06, 2.09, 2.08 What precisely does uptime tell you when you login as "nagios" and run it by hand, and what precisely does Nagios report in the output? Is the output you refer to in Nagios in the "Duration" or "Status information" column? The plugin output should be in the "Status information" column. The duration column is Nagios telling you how long the host or service has been in that state for. </blockquote> </div></div> </blockquote></div>
