Re: [Nagios-users] check_mem shows : NRPE: Unable to read output
Hi Jatin, Don't try to run the sudo command using root while its configuration is made for nagios :) Your issue looks like you can run check_mem.pl as root and get a reply locally, but nrpe is owned by user nagios, and user nagios won't run this plugin correctly. To allow the nagios user to run check_mem.pl as root, you have to configure a sudo command. Make sure your check_mem.pl is owned by user nagios, configure your sudo command via visudo, and then run this sudo command as the nagios user. As root, you could try : su - nagios -c /usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.pl -w 10 -c 5 Or just wait to see the result on your nagios server.
