I am using Python script to see how Nagios can create an event/alert</DIV> <DIV>by checking Passive Service Check Result submitted by this script. </DIV> <DIV> I have attached the Python script which is used write "Passive Service check Result" to Nagios external command file</DIV> <DIV>for creating an alert/event. But when I run this script </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>--------------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV> [root@Symbol eventhandlers]# pwd /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers [root@Symbol eventhandlers]# python snmptraphandling.py 10.207.40.203 CRITICAL 12 2 [root@Symbol eventhandlers]#</DIV> <DIV>---------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I get following error:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>[root@Symbol rw]# tail -f nagios.cmd</DIV> <DIV> [1190731734] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;10.207.40.203;snmp_trap_handling_critical;2;" 12" tail: nagios.cmd: file truncated tail: nagios.cmd: cannot seek to offset 0: Illegal seek [root@Symbol rw]# -------------------------------------------------- nagios.cmd is a pipe: [root@Symbol rw]# ls -l <DIV> total 0 prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 0 Sep 25 20:18 nagios.cmd [root@Symbol rw]# [root@Symbol rw]# pwd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw why I am getting Illegal seek error. I have tried to use this script to a normal read write file and it works fine, but while writing to a pipe it is showing error. If the problem is due to the script then it could be here output = open('/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd', 'w') print return_code results = "[" + mytime + "] " + "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;" \ + host + ";" + "snmp_trap_handling_" + service_suffix + ";" \ + return_code + ";" + mondata_res + "\n" output.write(results) It could be file(pipe) permission problem, I have no idea. <TT></TT><TT>I have followed below link to give permission to nagios.cmd</TT> <TT><A href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html</A> </TT><PRE style="MARGIN: 0em"></PRE> Thanks & Regards, Pankaj </DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
