Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
I am using Nagios Core 3.5.1 in Ubuntu Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.
Suddenly since yesterday, I am facing problem with force checks.

When I execute force check from web gui, its said "Your command request was successfully submitted to Nagios for processing."

I can even see it in nagios3.log "[1541498447] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;host.ext;Network bandwidth;1541498445"

but its actually not fired as process in system background...

When I run testing script:
now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd'
/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] ADD_HOST_COMMENT;host.ext;1;Comment;Comment test" > $commandfile
It works! it ads comment to host.

But when I run:
/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] SCHEDULE_HOST_CHECK;host.ext;$NOW" > $commandfile
It doesn work! I can see in log, it was fired. But command to ping host isnt executed...

Any idea?
Thanks lot for help...
Peter.

To be clear, are you saying the "Last Check Time" for the service isn't updating along with the check results?

looking at your example script you have this and the command in your second line is calling $NOW which is a different case than $now and the variable wouldn't populate if you had that same this.

Let's also try this:

Hello,
thanks for you reply.

After few hours of leaving server with nagios alone, I just tried it and... It works again - miracle? It fixed itself... I cant reproduce the error ;-(
I hate this situation

I'm glad to hear it is working again, but I agree it's not an optimal outcome because you are going to be unable to find the root cause.
