I am setting up a new Nagios installation so I installed 4.0.0beta4 then upgraded to 4.0.0. I installed pnp4nagios for the first time after upgrading to 4.0.0 and I am having the same problem. Also I enabled debug for the process_perfdata script and I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

2013-09-27 11:50:13 [27948] [2] Using Config File /usr/local/pnp4nagios/etc/process_perfdata.cfg parameters

2013-09-27 11:50:13 [27948] [1] Cant find Nagios Environment. Exiting ....

I do have the environment option enabled:

Code: Select all

# grep environment /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
# macros available as environment variables when host/service checks
# out of environment space. It will also cause a significant increase
# Values: 1 - Enable environment variable macros
#         0 - Disable environment variable macros (default)
enable_environment_macros=1
#

I have restarted Apache and Nagios to be sure... didn't help.

Is the current version of pnp4nagios (0.6.21) not compatible with Nagios 4?

Unknown. I didn't test 4 all the way down the rabbit hole. If I get a chance over the next few days, I will update one of my nagvis/pnp4nagios/nagiosql core installs to 4.

Well I changed my perfdata commands to call a simple shell script, debug.sh which does only this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
env > /tmp/env.debug

Upon inspecting /tmp/env.debug, I don't see any variables begining with NAGIOS_:

Code: Select all

# grep -i NAGIOS /tmp/env.debug 
USER=nagios
HOME=/usr/local/nagios
LOGNAME=nagios
#

So it looks like enable_environment_macros=1 isn't really working... or do I misunderstand how this should work?

EDIT.... Found this: http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=498

I do not believe that is how it is intended, although that bug report may be an indication that it is not actually working. My understanding was that you had to directly reference the $NAGIOS_***** variable specifically and it was only available when a check or event handler is run, to that environment. We will do some checking and see.

Well, if I set my perfdata handler to be my debug.sh script, the environment should be passed into it. And env shows you all defined environment variables so I would expect to see some NAGIOS_* varibles listed.

[sreinhardt]

Well, I can't really argue with the logic, I guess we shall have to see what comes of the bug report at this point.

Just to give a heads up, here is that env script with nagios 3.4.3 (few things removed):

That should at least show the behavior is not the same as previous versions, so Im more inclined to think this just doesnt work. I dug through the source code (im no coder) but I dont see anything that would cause these not to be populated. A lot more logic was added to ensure null macros are not exported to the environment among other things then before however.

Nice to know, again unfortunately this is something that will have to be resolved by the core developers within the tracker ticket already posted.

Hi,

Unfortunately I still have not found a solution for pnp4nagios! : (
Also, since I upgraded to nagios4 I don't have any map!!

Any ideas ?

thanks
