I'm trying to set up Icinga in a distributed configuration with one remote Icinga instance and one central instance. I'm following the instructions in this guide: http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/distributed.html
Section 7.6.7 "ocsp_command=submit_check_result" mentions the submit_check_result command definition and shows the corresponding shell script. That script basically pipes the right data into send_nsca and sends it to the central Icinga server. On my (Ubuntu Precise, Icinga 1.10) I found /usr/share/icinga/plugins/eventhandlers/submit_check_result. That script does something entirely different. It appends the data to the local command file and doesn't use the NSCA client at all. Here are the contents: #!/bin/sh # SUBMIT_CHECK_RESULT # Written by Ethan Galstad (egals...@nagios.org) # Modified by Icinga Development Team (https://dev.icinga.org) # # This script will write a command to the Icinga command # file to cause Icinga to process a passive service check # result. Note: This script is intended to be run on the # same host that is running Icinga. If you want to # submit passive check results from a remote machine, look # at using the nsca addon. # # Arguments: # $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is # associated with) # $2 = svc_description (Description of the service) # $3 = return_code (An integer that determines the state # of the service check, 0=OK, 1=WARNING, 2=CRITICAL, # 3=UNKNOWN). # $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used # as the plugin output for the service check) # echocmd="/bin/echo" CommandFile="/var/lib/icinga/rw/icinga.cmd" # get the current date/time in seconds since UNIX epoch datetime=`date +%s` # create the command line to add to the command file cmdline="[$datetime] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$1;$2;$3;$4" # append the command to the end of the command file `$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile` I'm very confused now. Isn't the NSCA daemon supposed to be the one writing to the command file? What's the purpose of this script? Should I replace the contents of the submit_check_result script on the distributed machine with the example given in the docs? Right now I'm considering just creating the script with a different name and use that for the ocsp_command. -- Kenny Rasschaert +32 497 72 27 69 | Open Source consultant - Inuits.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
