The script should check the return code of the <i>check_nrpe plugin</i> .  

If it returns a non-OK state, the script should send the appropriate commands to the <a href="configmain.html#command_file">external command file</a> to enable both notifications and active service checks.                                                                        If the plugin returns an OK state, the script should send commands to the external command file to disable both notifications and active checks.

How are you able to run the past couple of pages of posts if you do not have /usr/local/nagios. To quote yourself:

well thats the thing, i have two commands files, but that one that i posted i use as my main one and add definitions into it. The weird part is, when i tried to add check_nrpe into that command file, i get a error for duplicate defintion, even though i havent defind it before in that file.

Here is the other file located in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg:

The directory specified is the one used store your nagios configs. Where is this located on your system? Go to that directory and run the grep please. The downloads directory is not a proper place to store nagios configs.

My apoliges, i do indeed have /usr/local/nagios, but i do not go in there at all to use my nagios information.I also deleted the other commands.cfg file inside my /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects. I go into /etc/nagios3/objects and there have all my config files. I went into /etc/nagios3/objects and ran :

Code: Select all

grep -Ri 'check_nrpe' ./*

with this as output:

Code: Select all

./commands.cfg: #      command_name                             check_nrpe
./commands.cfg:  #     command_line                             $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$
./linux.cfg:    check_command           check_nrpe_1arg!check_mem
./windows.cfg:   #     check_command check_nrpe!run_mssql_sproc!vnadat121!Equinox!user!pass!sp_CheckCoreLastDeliveredBusHours
./windows.cfg:        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_procs_from_file!-a host.proclist.txt

You will need to remove the "#" in front of your check_nrpe definition within the commands.cfg file located in /etc/nagios3/* this will uncomment the definitions so they can be used. Once this is done, verify the configuration as normal "the nagios3 configuration." Let us know what your checks look like after that is done.

On another note, you may need to focus on figuring some of this out on your own as we have no idea how far these non default changes go in your environment, whilst we try to support every unique install, from this forum we do not have the same outlook on your environment that you do. I'd recommend to make the changes and then try troubleshooting some more following the same methodology we have been using with you here. I'd also recommend, since you may need it in the future, to purchase a core support contract from our sales team. This would allow you to use our ticketing system, as well as allow us to remote into your system and assist when deemed necessary.

[lmiltchev]

Can you post the error that you are getting?

version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions

* errors in config!

[lmiltchev]

It seems like you still have two "command.cfg" files... one - in "/etc/nagios3/commands.cfg" and another one - in "/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg". I thought you deleted one of them...

...wow this is a mess. Ok so i combined them into one file and remove the other...

Try removing one of them, check paths in the main config file (nagios.cfg) and verify configuration again.

[ofadl]

ok, so i just removed the commands.cfg inside /etc/nagios3/commands.cfg and changed the path in the nagios.cfg folder to look like this:

Code: Select all

##############################################################################
#
# NAGIOS.CFG - Sample Main Config File for Nagios
#
#
##############################################################################


# LOG FILE
# This is the main log file where service and host events are logged
# for historical purposes.  This should be the first option specified
# in the config file!!!

log_file=/var/log/nagios3/nagios.log

# Commands definitions
cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg

# Debian also defaults to using the check commands defined by the debian
# nagios-plugins package
cfg_dir=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins

# Debian uses by default a configuration directory where nagios3-common,
# other packages and the local admin can dump or link configuration
# files into.
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/conf.d

# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
# These are the object configuration files in which you define hosts,
# host groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.
# You can split your object definitions across several config files
# if you wish (as shown below), or keep them all in a single config file.

# You can specify individual object config files as shown below:
cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/timeperiods.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/templates.cfg

All i did, was remove the empty commands.cfg inside /etc/nagios3/commands.cfg then changed the path inside :

# Commands definitions
from cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/commands.cfg TO cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg

AND

# Debian also defaults to using the check commands defined by the debian
# nagios-plugins package
from cfg_file=/etc/nagios-plugins/config TO cfg_file=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins



and now im getting this error:

Code: Select all

[slansing]

Well... lets start.. by looking into the line that is shown in the error.


What is on line 232..?

Error: Unexpected token or statement in file '/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg' on line 232
