Hi, can you please login as the nagios user on host miysis and execute sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help
If you are asked for a password there, then maybe your sudo-configuration only allows you to call the bare command without any additional command line options. man sudoers says: A simple filename allows the user to run the command with any arguments he/she wishes. However, you may also specify command line argu ments (including wildcards). Alternately, you can specify "" to indicate that the command may only be run without command line arguments. Maybe something like that is the reason. Does /sbin/hpasmcli exist? Is it a link? What about /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli? Does it run if you call sudo /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli -s help The "NRPE. Unable to read output" is typical for such siturations where a plugin's only output is a "password:". You need to fix the sudo-problem first. Another thing is the -v option. This is only for debugging if you call the plugin as standalone. With -v it outputs some lines of text and nagios will show the first one ("checking hpasmd process") instead of the last one with the summary.
