I have an icinga instance running on each of two systems and checks on each system for certain processes running.

Any ideas? TIA for anything helpful.
Whenever I run into something like this I like to replace the script or binary which is apparently giving trouble with something simple of my own, usually a shell or Perl script, which may not do everything that the original does but can relatively easily provide information about what's going on. Most of these plugins are fairly simple things which in the end just output some small amount of text to stdout - see some of the shell scripts in /libexec/ (or wherever) for examples. If it is a script, as opposed to a complied binary, I'll often add some debugging statements to it rather than completely replace it. The line in the OP beginning "PROCS OK:" is an example of the entire output of a plugin to its stdout, but there's nothing to prevent you from e.g. sending debug data to stderr to figure out what it's doing. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ icinga-users mailing list icinga-users@lists.icinga.org https://lists.icinga.org/mailman/listinfo/icinga-users
