No, the cgi's are the only provided interface for that. There are no command-line reporting tools included. grep and less of the log files for basic stuff; one of the reporting addons at <a href="http://nagiosexchange.org" target="_blank">nagiosexchange.org</a> are your other options. There's also a third party command line interface at nagiosexchange (Utilities->Terminal) but I think it just shows current states. -- Marc ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:03:05 -0400 From: "Valdinger, Stephen $DOV, MSX$" <<a href="mailto:svalding@doverchem.com">svalding@doverchem.com</a>> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] does nagios need apache?

In the /usr/local/bin/Nagios (at least in my install, your path may be different) there is a nagiosstats binary you can run. There are options for mrtg (-m) or csv (-c) output.

I want to run a python script on my monitored hosts using the nrpe command. On my server I am running the following command: # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <a href="http://10.10.10.45" target="_blank">10.10.10.45</a> -c loadscript_check_error_log Every time i run the command above then i get the following error: "NRPE: Command 'loadscript_check_error_log' not defined On my monitored hosts, I've specified the corellary command in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg, then restarted the service. # command[loadscript_check_error_log]=python /home/username/script.py Am I missing something? Does the command[loadscript_check_error_log] actually have to be a valid plugin in the plugins directory or am I defining the action of running the script in this file? Note: This is the only command in my config that is not working for me so unlikely a service issue but rather something wrong with my config. Thanks!

Verify that the command definition in your NRPE configuration file is correct. -The plugin that is specified in the command line is malfunctioning. Run the command line manually to make sure the plugin returns some kind of text output."" ===== I ran the command via the command prompt and works fine w/ returning output. Hmmm.

"/home/jesterj/" is probably chowned to 700 anyway so the NRPE daemon won't be able to access and execute it anyway. Try running it manually with sudo to see the actual result: sudo -u nagios /usr/local/bin/python /home/jesterj/report_loadscript_error_log.py Also, you should copy your script in a more appropriate location such as /usr/local/bin or even /usr/lib/nagios/plugins if you have installed Nagios on a Debian or Ubuntu server. You can also try to start NRPE with "debug=1": "How to go about debugging other problems... When debugging problems it may be useful to edit the NRPE configuration file and change the debug=0 entry to debug=1. Once you do that, restart the NRPE daemon if it is running as a standalone daemon. After you try using the check_nrpe plugin again, you should be able to see some debugging information in the log files of the remote host. Check your logs carefully ? they should be able to help provide clues as to where the problem lies..."
