Nagios Support Forum

Since this script only exits on error it won't work being called by NRPE. This is factual - the way your script is written is incompatible with active nagios checks. It's imperative that a plugin exits for nagios to function. https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN78 Incidentally, writin...

There is your difference most likely. Try launching as user nagios and see if you get the same results.

I'm not 100% clear on the question. If you want a contact to view hosts but not the services on that host simply make them a contact for the host, but not for the services.

in cron should do fine for you. Adjust 365 as you see fit.

check_command Command_A!Command_B!Command_C While I can't find documentation that expressly forbids this type of check_command syntax - I've never seen it in use and would *NOT* expect it to work. Have you substituted numerical values in for Command_B and Command_C in your check_command? If you hav...

Is it safe to assume that nsca.cfg and nrpe.cfg do not change after the client and plugins have been configured You would either change these by hand or through the inbound transfers tool. If you're not fiddling, it's not changing. and that the newest static files are written from the database usin...

historical data (perfdata specifically) is stored in RRD files local to the XI box. Also External configs such as nsca.cfg, nrpe.cfg, and your etc/static files.

That's it though, if you don't care about those things then there is no amazing need to backup the XI box.
