I'm having a heck of a time getting an afacli monitoring script to work properly via nrpe in Nagios.
The server is a 2960 running CentOS 5.4. Via nrpe, I am successfully able to run the check_afacli script from here: http://www.techno-obscura.com/~delgado/notes/sles9-NagiosAfacli.html. The problem is that check_afacli.pl script doesn't spit out enough info, and I'd rather use the check_raid.pl script from here: http://www.ibnads.com/afacli-nagios/ When I run the check_raid.pl script on the monitored box (as root), it works fine and spits out a bunch of info I want to monitor. When I run it via nrpe, it just says "0 Containers Critical" which is know is incorrect. All the scripts state that in order to operate correctly, they have to be run as root. However, the check_afacli script runs just fine remotely, even without the nagios user in the sudoers file. I've added the nagios user to the sudoers file, but still can't get the check_raid.pl script to work. While tinkering around with a few other scripts, I can tell that afacli (when called via the script through nrpe) doesn't have sufficient permissions to open the container to query status. But what stumps me is why the check_afacli.pl script works fine, and the check_raid.pl script (which is the one I really want) doesn't! Anyone been down this road before care to offer some suggestions?
