NPCD / Perfdata - Return code of 255 is out of bounds

[CrazyHorse019]

Hi All,

I am migrating our Icinga 1.13.4 monitoring server that was sitting on Ubuntu 12.04 to a new server running on Ubuntu 18.04. I haven't worked with this type of monitoring before and I have come to a bit of a block.

I have had to install pnp4nagios from source as it's no longer supported in the later versions of Ubuntu - this is located /usr/local --> PNP4Nagios-0.6.26
ii icinga 1.13.4-2build1
ii icinga-cgi 1.13.4-2build1
ii icinga-cgi-bin 1.13.4-2build1
ii icinga-common 1.13.4-2build1
ii icinga-core 1.13.4-2build1
ii icinga-doc 1.13.4-2build1
ii monitoring-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2
ii monitoring-plugins-basic 2.2-3ubuntu2
ii monitoring-plugins-commo 2.2-3ubuntu2
ii monitoring-plugins-standard 2.2-3ubuntu2
ii nagios-images 0.9.1ubuntu1
ii nagios-nrpe-server 3.2.1-1ubuntu1
ii nagios-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2
ii nagios-plugins-basic 2.2-3ubuntu2
ii nagios-plugins-standard 2.2-3ubuntu2

Icinga is up and running but non of my stats for my hosts are coming through - on Icinga this comes up as a 'Return code of 255 is out of bounds' - this is the only feedback I get from the icinga.log.


However I am getting more verbose errors in the perfdata and npcd.log files as per below:

Has anyone seen this before or any clue how to fix this? I've been over the configuration multiple times between the old and new server and I can't honestly see what I am missing. Im happy to supply additional configs and logs if need be.

Any help would be appreciated so much, thanks for your time.
