I'm no expert in python or passive results, however you appear to be
opening the file for write access. Have you tried opening for append (w+
perhaps?)

Subject: [Nagios-users] FW: Nagios: Error while writing to pipe
Hi All,
I am new to Nagios, I am trying to receive SNMP Trap
from Windows client machine. I am using Python script to see how Nagios
can create an event/alert
by checking Passive Service Check Result submitted by this
script.
I have attached the Python script which is used write
"Passive Service check Result" to Nagios external command file
for creating an alert/event. But when I run this script
--------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eventhandlers]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eventhandlers]# python snmptraphandling.py
10.207.40.203 CRITICAL 12
2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eventhandlers]#
---------------------------------------------
I get following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]# tail -f nagios.cmd
[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
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]#
--------------------------------------------------
nagios.cmd is a pipe:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]# ls -l
total 0
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 0 Sep 25 20:18 nagios.cmd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]#
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
I have followed below link to give permission to nagios.cmd
