Check_HP plugin installation and use

[szkoda]

Done that, the output from that command is:

4 -rwxr -xr -x 1 nagios nagios 1913 Nov 27 12:19 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/utils.pm*

If I try to run the plugin it just repeats the same error message I was getting before.

This is what I get once I've run the debug command:

"bash: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins: bad interpreter: Permission denied"

so looks like its referencing the plugin in a different directory?

Did you edit /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp to change the line

Code: Select all

use lib "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins";

back to

Code: Select all

use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec";

?
You say you made the change, but it's not working that way. "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins" should not be in that file so something is messed up.

Download the script again.
Put it at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp
Do not edit the file. The default is good if you have the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/utils.pm file.
Make sure the ownership and permissions are right. What you had before looked good:

Code: Select all

-rwxr-x—x 1 nagios nagios 14795 Dec 4 12:22 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp

Then try running the script again.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp -H IP_of_HP_server -C public -d
sudo -u nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp -H IP_of_HP_server -C public -d

It's working!

I redownloaded the file from Nagios Exchange, didn't edit it but placed straight into the Nagios plugins directory (/usr/local/nagios/libexec) then ran the command and it gave me feedback on various bits of hardware. Checked Nagios and it reported various issues on the servers I enabled the plugin on so happy days!

I was clearly doing something very wrong the first time around so apologies and many thanks for all the help!

Glad it's working! Please feel free to post with any further problems.
