Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing

[ayushgoyal278]

I've installed nagios core on my fedora 14 machine using the quickstart guide. When I check the status it shows me the status of the localhost to be "down" and the information next to it says "(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)". I remember installing the plugins using the quickstart guide. Can someone please help me resolving the issue.

Can you run the following and share the output:

Code: Select all

ll /usr/local/nagios/libexec

[ayushgoyal278]

i assume that was: cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
Here is the o/p:

[root@ayush ayush]# cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
[root@ayush libexec]# ls
[root@ayush libexec]#

Basically there is nothing in libexec. It is empty.

I would suggest you start by recompiling the plugins. By default the folder above is where they should go without any special flags. Otherwise you can certainly run a locate or find on something like "check_snmp" to try and find where they went.

Can you please guide me on how to do that?

Download the plugins tarball from this page, into your /tmp directory:

http://www.nagios.org/download/plugins/

Then:

Code: Select all

tar zxf nagios-plugins-1.4.16.tar.gz

cd nagios-plugins-1.4.16

./configure

make

Now, re-check the libexec directory.

Download the tarball from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/files/

Copy it to /tmp directory and run the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
tar zxvf nagios-plugins-1.4.16.tar.gz
cd nagios-plugins-1.4.16
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
make
make install

Examine to see if you have any compile errors, etc. Check if you have the plugins in the libexec.

I downloaded the file and installed with the said instructions but it gave me errors and also after that I checked the libexec directory but found nothing. Attached are the 2 screenshots of the error i got. 1st is when i ran "make" and 2nd is when i ran "make install"

Run:

Code: Select all

yum install libssl-dev -y

then try recompiling again.

[ayushgoyal278]

logged in as root and ran the code:
[root@ayush ayush]# yum install libssl-dev -y

After that recompiled again but no luck. Still the same errors and empty libexec directory.
