Nagios Support Forum

Ok by me. Not sure if the OP got their answer, hopefully my solution works for them.

Is this an eval copu of XI, or are you a customer? If you are a customer, send an email to xisupport@nagios.com and we can try to move to a remote session, as this question has pretty much exhausted what we an do through the forums. I am a customer, but, no need to email in. I rebooted the server t...

... so it is working now? No. Inexplicably I might add. Server1 still isn't working properly. Server2, which was cloned (in vmware) from Server1 several hours ago, is working without issue. [edit 1232] On a whim, I removed this host from nagios and removed the nagios-agent and associated packages f...

Try changing the following line in the nrpe.cfg on the client from this: command[check_init_service]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_init_service $ARG1$ to this: command[check_init_service]=sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_init_service $ARG1$ Restart NRPE and try your check again.

Only installed once. $ find / -name nrpe.cfg /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg $ $ mlocate nrpe.cfg /etc/nagios.nrpe.cfg $ I could try removing and reinstalling the package via apt or dpkg if you think that might help. Here is what is currently installed: $ dpkg --get-selections | grep nagios libnagios-plugin-pe...

check_init_service is not defined in your nrpe.cfg. Add the following to the remote host's nrpe.cfg: command[check_init_service]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_init_service $ARG1$ And then restart the nrpe service on the remote host. check_init_service is defined. I specifically stated that I added ...

NRPE has been restarted since the changes were made. I have other monitoring working on this host. Disk, load, open files, ping, swap, total processes, and users checks are all working fine. Its just Cron Scheduling Daemon, SSH server and System Logging Daemon that aren't working. Here is the output...
