Ok...Before I tackle the issue with Nagios not getting any feedback from check_logfiles I decided to test the plugin locally on the host machine. However I'm not getting the results I should am expecting.
I execute this at the command line: Check_logfiles --tag=websphere --logfile=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/rflxappserver1 /SystemOut.log --criticalpattern="java.lang.Exception: DBPool returned NULL connection." My results are: OK - no errors or warning|websphere_lines=0 websphere_warnings=0 websphere_criticals=0 websphere_unknowns=0 However when I check the SystemOut.log, I see the line that contains that error. Am I missing something? -----Original Message----- From: Jay R.

If you're sending arguments and the target nrpe was configured to reject them it will also bounce. But not the way you're seeing. I've heard that some builds of the nrpe daemon are configured to use TPC wrappers, and thus require a properly configured /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} (which also implies adding nrpe to /etc/services). Could one of those things be your problem? Cheers, -- jr '(just started yesterday. yes, I learn fast :-)' a -- Jay R.
