No, those look absolutely fine; same as mine anyway. I now use NagTrap with Nagios 3, but I still have a similar setup to yours running on my old Nagios 2.7 server. Let me see ... There, I have the user snmptt added to the nagiocmd group, and at the end of my submit_check_result script, I have: sg nagiocmd -c echo '$cmdline' $CommandFile It's been a while since I set this up, so my memory is a bit hazy but I think I remember now battling with this one for a while when I set it up too. I think the important thing which got it working was putting the sg nagiocmd -c (or in your case it would be sg nagcmd -c ) in front of the command which actually writes to the command file. hth, Jim -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

Re: [Nagios-users] snmptt and nagios, access to nagios.cmd file
p.s. I'd be interested to know what instructions you followed to get your method working? I moved to using NagTrap because I found that maintaining the submit_check_result script was rather time-consuming, but if things have moved on a bit since I last set mine up I'd be interested to see if it's any easier to maintain now. I quite like NagTrap, but if you follow the standard install for it, there's a lot of polling the database which is very cpu intensive compared with writing direct to the command file as you do. Also, the alerts aren't so meaningful with NagTrap as they are in your setup.

Re: [Nagios-users] snmptt and nagios, access to nagios.cmd file
Hello Jim: Thank you very much for the help, after changing the last line in the submit_check_result script from the default of: `$echocmd $cmdline $CommandFile` to: sg nagiocmd -c echo '$cmdline' $CommandFile everything works fine. As for my setup, I run nagios 3 and Nagtrap. However I send the notifications as passive checks directly from snmptt's EXEC statement. I some special logic in my script to select the right alarm level and then send it to nagios with submit_check_result. I link to nagtrap using the action_url in all my snmptrap services. I catch all the traps in Nagtrap, however only some of them generate alarms. Whenever an alarm is generated by the selected traps, you can always check the rest of received traps in nagtrap.

Re: [Nagios-users] snmptt and nagios, access to nagios.cmd file
