RE: [Nagios-users] Jabber Custom Notification Script Not Working

[Aaron K. Moore]

I didn't have any luck getting any of the Perl based Jabber scripts to work.  I kept getting an error in one of the XMPP modules.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Jabber Custom Notification Script Not Working

Hello Everyone,

 

I am wondering if anyone has had success getting the Jabber Notification script written by David Cox to work.

 

I have a user called nagios under which nagios runs and using "su nagios" (on Debian) I can run the script and it notifies just fine. So I am concluding that it is not a security related issue nor a script execution error since it works correctly.  However, when running the Perl script in the Embedded Perl environment, something happens (which is not logged) which causes the script to not execute as desired.

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of a logging directive to enable so that I can see any Perl errors that may be generated in the process?

 

Current nagios.cfg logging settings:

log_archive_path=/var/log/nagios/archives
log_event_handlers=1
log_external_commands=1
log_file=/var/log/nagios2/nagios.log
log_host_retries=1
log_initial_states=0
log_notifications=1
log_passive_checks=1
log_rotation_method=d
log_service_retries=1
use_syslog=1

Abbbreviated contents of /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log:

[1148388211] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: norman;weathervane;Service: Jabber Notification Test;CRITICAL;notify-by-jabber;No process matching ping found : CRITICAL

I appreciate any insight into this problem would be appreciated.

 

Sincerely,
