Here are my configs: misccommands.cfg: define command{ command_name restart_test.sh command_line $USER2$/restart_test $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$ } # $USER2$ is a macro for /opt/nagios/libexec/eventhandle nagios.cfg: enable_event_handlers=1 services.cfg: # Generic service definition template define service{ name generic-service ; The 'name' of this service template, referenced in other service definitions active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance problems) obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this service (if necessary) is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness' notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are enabled event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is enabled flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r,u process_perf_data 0 register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE! } and the service: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name tmail service_description msgStor Partition max_check_attempts 4 event_handler_enabled 1 event_handler restart_test contact_groups solaris-admins check_command snmp_disk!7!84!89 } </tt><tt>at this point, all I have in restart_test.sh is this (</tt><tt>I cannot get any output from this script into</tt><tt> restart_test.log which is leading me to believe that its not being called)</tt><tt>: #!/bin/sh echo "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" >>./restart_test.log exit 0 and directory perms: nagios@excalibur-mgt:~/libexec/eventhandlers> ls -la total 10 drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 112 2007-06-05 14:41 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2168 2007-05-29 12:37 .. -rwxr-xr-- 1 nagios nagios 65 2007-06-05 14:41 restart_test.sh </tt><tt>The nagios logs state that it is being called, but I don't think so: [1180991106] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;No valid data returned [1180991106] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;restart_test [1180991126] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;iPlanet Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;No valid data returned [1180991166] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;2;No valid data returned [1180991166] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;2;restart_test [1180991186] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;iPlanet Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;2;No valid data returned [1180991226] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;3;No valid data returned [1180991226] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;3;restart_test [1180991246] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;iPlanet Partition;UNKNOWN;SOFT;3;No valid data returned [1180991286] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;HARD;4;No valid data returned [1180991286] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tmail;msgStor Partition;UNKNOWN;HARD;4;restart_test [1180991306] SERVICE ALERT: tmail;iPlanet Partition;UNKNOWN;HARD;4;No valid data returned by forcing an error (setting the script to no execute) I know that its being passed the args: [1181065075] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/opt/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart_test.sh UNKNOWN SOFT 1 <some_IP>" resulted in a return code of 126.
