Andrew,
Rhetorical Q: What is the exit status of script.py, and are you handling
it appropriately?
Suggestion: qualify or expand paths in all cases. Don't rely on your
environment to know what you really want it to do.
to = "| /usr/sbin/sudo /home/myID/scripts/script.py"

Tim Peiffer

I tried that but it still doesn't work. The alert is triggered as it
is logged in /var/messages but either smokeping is not calling the
script or the call is failing. Any ideas?

Try using the absolute path to the script in the sudoers file.
Also, the /etc/sudoers file should NOT be edited directly, you
should be using the visudo command as root.

I've got something similar in in /etc/sudoers already.

Make sure that the user is allowed to execute the script
without a password. Here's an example that you can modify
to suit your needs: techbnc ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/csf
In this example the user techbnc is allowed to call
/usr/sbin/csf without needing a password. What's
happening is that normally when sudo is called, it asks
for the password and Smokeping has no way to provide that
password. By adding the user to the file with NOPASSWD,
they are allowed to execute the script without being
password prompted and therefore Smokeping will be able to
complete the action.

I am trying to set up smokeping with an alert script.
The alert script is called like this entry in
/etc/smokeping/config.d/Alerts:
to = |sudo script.py
When called as simply |script.py this works fine, but
with sudo the script does not get called. How can I
get this working?
Thanks
Andrew.
