Nagios Support Forum

The article you linked doesn't seem to cover the case where the server has a previous version but the clients have a newer version. In my case check_nrpe nagios server: NRPE v2.15 check_nrpe remote hosts: NRPE vnrpe-3.0 That probably means there shouldn't be a problem just updating nrpe on the serve...

I have a remote host that accepts command line arguments from a remote server. For example, I have a custom command called check_storage_devices and I pass in the name of a disk, say vda4 or vda5. The remote host then checks if there is a disk called vda4 or vda5 on it by running the check_storage_d...

I want to setup a network structure that works as below: Group 1 (Main) Host 1 Host 2 Host 3 Group 2 (Main) Host 4 Host 5 Host 6 What I want for this structure is for a notification / event_handler to be called if and only if all three hosts under a group are down/unreachable, else, simply default t...

Got it, thank you for digging through all that!

sorry, if that's the case i misspoke. What I basically mean is that if I change temp_path =/tmp to anything else (for example) temp_path=/a/different/path and then just execute an event handler and write to some file, regardless of what I change it to the folder will always be /tmp. It's really just...

what is the path you specified in your nagios.cfg file? specifying a file path in the script isn't the issue, it is specifying the output of the directive in the config file

Doesn't look like permissions are the issue. I tried this with a fresh install of 4.2.4, and have nagios configured as having root privileges. It still writes to temp no matter what I give it in the directive. Other thing I noticed is that it looks like nagios runs the event handlers from a subshell...

Actually even if I change the folder it still writes to temp. Right now my config is
but my intuition tells me that perhaps my nagios might not have permissions to cd into /home/centos and so it defaults to temp...maybe?

I'll try the relative path

Okay, strange, I found out by searching for my file that nagios event handler was writing to a temp folder, and missed this line in the config: # TEMP PATH # This is path where Nagios can create temp files for service and # host check results, etc. temp_path=/tmp Process of elimination will eventual...

Hi, I'm having a very weird issue that I've been trying to debug for the past two days and I simply can't figure out for the life of me what' s going on. Debug level is set to -1, Verbosity is set to 2. The python code has been stripped down to simply just printing to a file. The script is chmodded ...
