Plugin not showing up in online dashboard

[bostonangus]

I'm attempting to configure a plugin that tests the response status of a particular webpage every n minutes.

In

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins

I've added the plugin:

nameof-test.sh

.

In

/etc/nagios-plugins/config/nameof-test.cfg

I've put the command definition:

Code: Select all

define command {
	   command_name    check_specific
	   command_line      /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/nameof-test.sh -u 'website.com' -w 600 -c 1500
}

In

/etc/nagios3/conf.d/servers.cfg

I've defined the service:

Code: Select all

define service {
           hostgroup_name                  main-group
           service_description              Check_Response
           check_command                  check_specific
           use                                      generic-service
           notification_interval            0 ; set > 0 if you want to be renotified
}

And in the

/etc/nagios3/objects/desired-server

I've added the service:

Code: Select all

define service{
           use                                generic-remote-service         ; Name of server
           host_name                     server-name
           service_description        Check-Response
           check_command            check_specific
        }

The plugin isn't showing up in the dashboard with the others:

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Did you make sure to restart nagios after altering the configs?

[bostonangus]

Yes, I've been restarting steadily thinking that might be the issue.

Are all the files/dirs included in your nagios.cfg?

Code: Select all

cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/desired-server
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/conf.d

Everything looks good in there, strange...

Does clearing browser's cache/refreshing the page help?

[bostonangus]

Fixed this finally.

For some reason the 'service nagios-nrpe-server restart' wasn't sufficient in refreshing the online dashboard & showing new plugins. To fix this I had to restart nagios form within the dashboard. Click on process info in the left menu, then choose to restart nagios process.

This updated successfully with new plugins.

You should use this command to restart Nagios:

Code: Select all

service nagios restart
