Hi npolovenko,

Thanks for replying.

I have checked and gone through the link https://bernhardhoerl.com/2017/09/26/cu ... mote-ping/ and installed the remote ping check plugin and it's working fine.

[root@nagios_test libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H <hostname> -t <mytoken> -M /plugins/check_ping.exe
Ping OK - Packet Loss = 0%, RTA = 0ms|'Packet Loss'=0%;;;; 'RTA'=0ms;;;;

How to monitor the task scheduler monitoring (if any task failed)

Please help me out the argument to monitor the failed task.

Cheers,
Simbu

Sorry, the NCPA agent does not include a way to check scheduled tasks.

Hello Tgrief,

Thanks for the reply.

Can we monitor the existing plugins used by NRPE for NCPA agent?

For example,

I have copied the check_disk plugin and I moved to under /usr/local/ncpa/plugins and set the permissions as nagios user.I executed the plugin via NCPA and the ouptut shown.

/code [root@nagios_test libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H 10.211.30.81 -t 3RuC3sR3PuS -M '/plugins/check_disk' -a '-w 20 -c 40 /'
DISK OK - free space: / 4416 MB (40% inode=69%); /dev/shm 938 MB (100% inode=99%); /boot 335 MB (74% inode=99%);| /=6525MB;11513;11493;0;11533 /dev/shm=0MB;918;898;0;938 /boot=116MB;456;436;0;476

It showing overall partitions comes under / directory.

When I trying to execute /boot separately .I am getting the below error.

/code [root@nagios_test libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H 10.211.30.81 -t 3RuC3sR3PuS -M '/plugins/check_disk' -a '-w 20 -c 40 /boot'
DISK CRITICAL - boot is not accessible: No such file or directory.

And also I tried to execute check_ping plugin via NCPA and getting the error.

Please find the attached error screenshot.

cheers,
Simbu

The error from checking the /boot partition might be a a configuration setting in the ncpa.cfg file.
The NCPA agent has a built in disk check you can use instead of using a plugin.
Here is an example command.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py 10.211.30.81 -t 3RuC3sR3PuS  -P 5693 -M 'disk/logical/|boot/used' -w 70 -c 90
The check_ping is missing the requires options and that is causing the error.

Code: Select all

check_ping -H <host_address> -w <wrta>,<wpl>% -c <crta>,<cpl>%
