My next step is getting it to run within Nagios. <o:p></o:p> The script has been copied to the libexec directory, and I have added a command definition to the commands.cfg file. Here is the syntax of the entry:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # ‘check_nis_space’ command definition<o:p></o:p> define command{<o:p></o:p> command_name /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nis –H space –d nisdomain<o:p></o:p> command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nis –H space –d nisdomain<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I then went to the services.cfg file and added an entry there for the aforementioned command. The syntax there is the following:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # Service definition<o:p></o:p> define service{<o:p></o:p> use generic-service ; Name of service template to use<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> host_name space<o:p></o:p> service_description Check NIS Service<o:p></o:p> is_volatile 0<o:p></o:p> check_period 24x7<o:p></o:p> max_check_attempts 3<o:p></o:p> normal_check_interval 5<o:p></o:p> retry_check_interval 1<o:p></o:p> contact_groups linux-admins<o:p></o:p> notification_interval 120<o:p></o:p> notification_period 24x7<o:p></o:p> notification_options w,u,c,r<o:p></o:p> check_command check_nis_space<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> When I run the nagios –v check, I get an error message stating that the check_nis_space check_command in services.cfg is not defined anywhere. <o:p></o:p> Is there another file(s) that I need to configure to get this to work? Thanks. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> The information transmitted in this electronic communication is intended only for the person or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
