Nagios Support Forum

Sorry for the delay with no response - that pesky thing called work, which pays the bills, got in the way for a couple weeks! Anyway - I can now report success! :D I took your last suggestion and applied it to the configuration settings I had posted on Jul 6th and NRPE & Nagios started behaving ...

OK - realized I didn't have the development files for tcp wrappers installed, installed those and now get a celan response from NRPE (see below). NetMon2:~ # /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe --h NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org) Version: 2.13 La...

Working on this a bit further - since I'm not certain if it's NRPE or RRDTRAF that is causing the problme, I thought I'd isolate it by having NRPE run some other known working nagios pkugin. So I set up a new service on the MRTG/RRDTOOL server to check the switch using check_ping plugin. In the nrpe...

I hought that might bewhat it was, however here are the results: login as: root Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Password: Last login: Mon Jul 2 12:52:28 2012 from 10.1.4.90 Have a lot of fun... NetMon-Nagios:~ # su nagios -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.1.4.82 ...

OK - I've started from scratch again with installing and trying to get NRPE to work. Here's basic info on my setup: Nagios Server: 10.20.30.80 MRTG/RRDTool: server: 10.20.30.82 Configuration changes on NAGIOS server: File: /srv/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg Lines added: # 'check_rrdtraf' com...

Just an additional thought here: When I built the latest check_nrpe, it's install script placed the check_nrpe in the /usr/local/nagios/lib directpory that it created instead of the libexec directory that Nagios creates. In the config file on the remote machines, the nrpe.cfg file references /usr/lo...

Let me change what I wrote below - I'm assuming you mean on the remote system since that is where the rrd files are! 8-) So at the command pormpt, on the remote system I run this: # /usr/local/nagios/lib/check_rrdtraf -f /srv/www/htdocs/Server_Switch/10.1.4.15_gi1_0_1.rrd \ -w 67108864,120795995 -c ...

I'm having an issue trying to get the plugin check_rrdtraf to work with check_nrpe so I can monitor MRTG servers that are on a diferent linux box vs the one that is running Nagios. I can get Nagios to run any of the example plugin's from both the system prompt and withint Nagios, however when I try ...

Thanks again! I was just reading about that feature and wondering if t would do the trick. The other solutions is via check_by_ssh, but they warn you about the high resources it uses on both systems. This is in aclosed network and won't have data traveling across the internet, so NRPE should do the ...

Looks like that will work, however, any idea what the syntax is for me to use for accessing where the "rrd" files are on another Linux server? ie: IP and directpory path of where my rrd files are for this switch: 10.10.10.82/srv/www/htdocs/switch1/10.20.10.10_gi1_0_1.rrd With MRTG/routers2...
