Dear all
Using Nagios since a lot of years, I was starting with one of the first
versions of "netsaint", and more than 25 years of experience with UNIX, I have
now a strange problem I never had before.
I am running Nagios Core 3.2.3 on Solaris 10 OS. Hardware is M3000 with SPARC
V9 architecture.
My problem is, I see sometimes - not always - a service notification in the
log, but it is not really done.
Here an example, the entry in the log
[03-09-2011 09:13:25] SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
sms_mayer;amazon;DISK/p14amazon;OK;notify-service-by-sms;DISK OK - free space:
/p14amazon 4531 MB (6% inode=99%):
Here is the definition for notify-service-by-sms
# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line $USER1$/rshsendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ \"Info:
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$ \"
}
As you see I execute a command named "rshsendsms". And this are the first lines
of the shell script:
:
# Wed Jan 19 10:12:15 MET 2011 - mayer initial
# Wed Feb 16 10:11:54 MET 2011 - mayer logging the UID
# usage:
# rshsendsms 0043664xxxxxxx '"hello world - how are you "'
# info: both types of apostrophes are important
export PATH LOG NUMBER TEXT ID UID NOTSENT RUNLOG
PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
LOG=/var/adm/rshsendsms.log
RUNLOG=/var/adm/rshsendsms_run.log
date '+%y%m%d %H:%M' >> $RUNLOG
The first action I do, I write a log-entry. (91% of the disk is free) But in
this case I cannot find the entry. The last one is dated with 110309 06:39,
where I received a SMS really. I also switched on the process accounting weeks
ago. But there is no entry to be found, that the shell script was executed.
I also switched on the debug facility of "syslog". I can find an equivalent
entry like in the Nagios log. But there are no other messages, that something
could be wrong.
But on other hand I was informed at 06:39 and nothing was changed in the
meantime. This is not the first time this problem happens. Most of the time
notification works fine, but sometimes not. This is of course a pain as
notification is one central functionality of Nagios.
Any idea where I can start searching for the error ?
Kind regards
Hans
