[Nagios-users] NRPE mystery
Hello, Finally, resolved the mystery. I was running NRPE under root as nagios user and check_nrpe was returing exit value 0 in any case. bash-3.00#/usr/local/sys/nrpe/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/sys/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg bash-3.00#ps -ef|grep nrpe nagios 3184 677 0 23:30:39 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sys/nrpe/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/sys/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg -d What i did , login as nagios and start the NRPE and it fixed all the issues. bash-3.00# su - nagios bash-3.00$/usr/local/sys/nrpe/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/sys/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg bash-3.00#ps -ef|grep nrpe I still can't understand why it doesnt work when I start NRPE under root as nagios user. Could any one explain please explain? Note: On all other my environments, I am running NRPE under root as nagios user Thanks, Farhan _ Take a summer road trip with Windows Live Hotmail.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE mystery
Hi Farhan Ahmed, the only thing I can think of is that the exit codes aren't propagated to the nagios server: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_users -w 2 > -c 3 USERS CRITICAL - 11 users currently logged in |users=11;2;3;0 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_tcp -p 1250 > Connection refused > What are the exit codes of these checks? Should be 2. > On Nagios Server: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H asqstage > -c check_users USERS CRITICAL - 10 users currently logged in > |users=10;2;3;0 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H asqstage > -c check_remote Connection refused And here? The exit codes should be 2 also. Succes, cu l8r, Edgar. -- |\ /| :: Addr: Valid Eindhoven B.V. / | \/ | : Edgar R. Matzinger : t.a.v. E.R.

[Nagios-users] NRPE mystery
Hello,
I am having really NRPE weird issue, never faced this type of problem before,
configured NRPE on hundreds Hosts without any problem but this one is killing me
Environment:
OS: Solaris 10 Zone
NRPE Version: 2.12
Nagios-plugins Version: 1.4.13
OpenSSL: 0.9.8i
Nagios Server: Ubuntu 8.04(hardy)
Nagios Version: 3.0.5
Problem:
I compiled , installed and started NRPE successfully on Solaris 10 zone. But
somehow Nagios doesn't show the status critical or warning for this host even
services are down. Nagios shows status 'OK' all the time though services are
critical
For example
On Solaris 10 zone, nrpe.cfg file has
command[check_users]=/usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_users -w 2 -c 3
command[check_remote]=/usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_tcp -p 1250
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_users -w 2 -c 3
USERS CRITICAL - 11 users currently logged in |users=11;2;3;0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_tcp -p 1250
Connection refused
On Nagios Server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H asqstage -c
check_users
USERS CRITICAL - 10 users currently logged in |users=10;2;3;0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H asqstage -c
check_remote
Connection refused
So, it means NRPE is passing write information to the check_nrpe on nagios, but
somehow Nagios is showing them as OK status
check users OK 11-20-2008 14:20:41 0d 0h 20m 28s 1/3 USERS
CRITICAL - 10 users currently logged in
check Remote Trace OK 11-20-2008 14:16:57 0d 0h 19m 12s 1/3
Connection refused
Here is my nagios configuration
define host{
use generic-host; Name of host template
to use
host_name asqstage
alias asqstage
parents sheila
address 163.189.222.51
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
contact_groups CMESMonitoringGroup
notification_interval 1440
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name asqstage
service_description check users
check_command check_nrpe!check_users
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name asqstage
service_description check Remote Trace
check_command check_nrpe!check_remote
}
Please anyone who can help me in this. I am really stuck into it and can't
figure out why it is happening.
Thanks,
--

Farhan Ahmed
