Nagios Support Forum

Thanks to you guys for this! mark this as resolved.

Well, You nailed it, the directory was there but not much else. I would have never have guessed that my directory /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ would have almost nothing in it, when I did a yum -y install nagios-plugins, but low and behold that is the case! Also note to self, missing executable is the ...

Hi all, I have been running nagios for quite a while and am fairly versed in things but with this pigsty that is Centos7/systemd I have run into a rather odd problem. I have no problems getting nrpe installed, configured, and running both via the epel rpm and via source compile. At first I thought i...

That you should.

Ok, so I should have done this before harassing people with it but here is the solution that I was thinking about in the shower this morning while revving up for work and it even worked. It seems that 4.0 isn't loading the full nagios user environment as was done in the past, so I just specifically ...

OK, did you happen to be running as the nagios user or just root when running manually? Is this a second box from the 3.4 machine, such that you might have to give the nagios user some additional permissions for sqlplus? Testing via su-ing to the nagios user and running from the cli just as it work...

Yes, the CALLATTEMPTS variable was empty from the nagios runs, the output from my second cat, is has the value of 37389 at end of it, I made one run manually to make sure I was not getting the same results on the command line as well, and it came back as I expected.

In order to check with nrpe, you have to have the daemon running on the host that you are trying to check. The README file from the tarball you downloaded has full instructions on how to compile/install/configure it.
