The plugin ownership of root:root is the same for all other plugins in the folder.

The nagios user the one that does the actual executing, which is different from the root user.

What happens when you execute these commands:

Code: Select all

su nagios
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_printer.sh -H 192.1.1.152 -C public -x MODEL

For reference, did you follow some sort of guide when installing your plugins?

root@apollo:~# su nagios
root@apollo:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_printer.sh -H 192.1.1.152 -C public -x MODEL
"HP LaserJet M402dn", Serial # XXXXXXXXXX
root@apollo:~#

When installing the plugin I simply downloaded the bash script from the website, copied it into the plugins folder and set the permissions to match the other files in the folder.

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name check_printers
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -x $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

Code: Select all

root@apollo:~# su nagios
root@apollo:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_printer.sh -H 192.1.1.152 -C public -x MODEL
"HP LaserJet M402dn", Serial # XXXXXXXXXX
root@apollo:~#

Here is your problem, in your command definition the name of the plugin is missing the .sh from end, it should be:

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name check_printers
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer.sh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -x $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

Awesome, thank you.

I copied the original command from the Nagios website so I'm surprised others have not noted this problem:

The script there is actually uploaded without the .sh extension. It will work either way, though.

Going to mark this thread as resolved, and close it up.
