You don't state whether this is in the compilation phase of "make" or the "install" phase. If it's the latter, I seem to recall a problem where the 'install" script that's delivered with Solaris cannot properly handle subdirectories. If this is happening in the "install...

Did you do a "make clean" to get rid of old *.o files before the last try? It looks like something was left over with an external reference to the SSL bits from a previous compilation attempt.

Check the "check_snmp" syntax (check_snmp -h) and query for the single OID that describes what value you're looking for and set the thresholds accordingly. If you're making a decision based on a slew of OIDs, it's usually easier to write a custom plugin.

In the "classic" distributed setup for Nagios, one runs all the "subservient" servers with notifications turned off and with obsessive-compulsive scripts set to report the findings of each scheduled plugin run to the master. To get "cascading" responsibility, one would ...

It looks like the configure script got confused because the MySQL package was compiled using a different compiler than the one you're using. To clear the immediate error, you can get into the /home/nagios/nagios-plugins-1.4.15/plugins directory, manually edit the Makefile, and remove the "-KPIC...

JSMurphy nails it here -- you're going to need a strong understanding of the MIB and how it, and all its structure, works. Some MIBs are pretty good about allowing one to "drill into" them; others are pathological and require the use of a bulkwalk -- or worse, a straight walk -- to find wh...

In cases where 500-series errors are being returned from the web-server, the web-server logs are usually indespensible for identifying what went bang. Frequently they not only point to the script that failled but sometimes to the exact line, especially if one is using perl or other interpreted scrip...

# 'check_file_exists' define command{ command_name: check_file_exists command_line: $USER1$/check_file_exists -H $HOSTADDRESS$ } Try getting rid of the colons in the mentioned configuration. Running "nagios -v $config_file" is almost ALWAYS of assistance when the instance won't start.

[1319540402] Error: Function nebmodule_init() in module '/usr/local/nagios/lib/dnxPlugin.so' returned an error. Module will be unloaded. [1319540402] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/lib/dnxPlugin.so' deinitialized successfully. Ouch. The only way out of this one will be to "use the sour...

You may have to acquire/write/configure a mail-sending plugin that'll take the output from Nagios and convert it into quoted-printable MIME to get the special characters to be accepted by the local MTA. Remember to sent your "Content-Type:" header properly. I am assuming that you've been a...
