You need an Oracle client installed and configured to be able to access your databases. Last time I looked, the Oracle Instant Client (or whatever it's called, the lightweight one) didn't include tnsping which is required by the plugin. You probably need to install the full Oracle client. It's been a while since I worked with Oracle so forgive me if I get the names slightly wrong and for all I know Oracle may have changed the spec of what you get with the client now. Wolfgang Barth's book published by NoStarch Press has a section with an example showing how to monitor Oracle using the instant client. If you have quite a few checks to run, I would put the plugin on the Oracle server (which presumably already has the client) and use a script with send_nsca to send passive results back to Nagios. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
