Event Handler Script not working.

[Figment]

Even with the file in a different directory I'm getting the same error.

So I've tried not using a script and instead putting the cmd into the Command.cfg as below. If I enter the command_line directly into the console it works fine.

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    auto_acknowledge
        command_line    /bin/printf "[%lu] ACKNOWLEDGE_HOST_PROBLEM;TEST_PRINTER;2;1;1;Autobot;Non-critical host, outage acknowledged\n" > /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
        }

However defining it to trigger as the event handler results in the below error.

Code: Select all

[1549460469] Warning: Check of host 'TEST_PRINTER' timed out after 30.01 seconds
[1549460469] HOST EVENT HANDLER: TEST_PRINTER;DOWN;SOFT;2;auto_acknowledge

[1549460469] wproc:   stderr line 02: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Any Idea how to get this to work? Or if theres a better way to automatically acknowledge non critical hosts.

Are you sure you don't have the event handler defined multiple times?

However defining it to trigger as the event handler results in the below error.

That's because your printf command didn't have the date stamp to substitute the date, try:

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    auto_acknowledge
        command_line    /bin/printf "[`date +%s`] ACKNOWLEDGE_HOST_PROBLEM;TEST_PRINTER;2;1;1;Autobot;Non-critical host, outage acknowledged\n" > /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
        }

Hi Scott,

Thanks for all your help. I've ended up going down a different route for the monitoring of non critical hosts (check_dummy).

You can close this thread now.
