check_ilo2_health - Status Information: (null)

[spaxx2000]

Hi,

I use the nagios plugin check_ilo2_health.pl to monitor the ILO2 status of our HP servers.

The plugin worked great with FAN 2.1. After a new installation of the whole nagios server with FAN 2.3, I can't get the plugin to work again.

When I use the plugin with commandline it shows me the ILO2 Status.

In nagios it shows me (null) in Status Information (see attached screenshot).

Any help appreciated!!!


Additional Info:

Plugin check - works:

Code: Select all

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ilo2_health.pl -n -H SERVERIP -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
ILO2_HEALTH OK - No faults detected

commands.cfg:

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name  check_ilo2_health
command_line  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ilo2_health.pl -n -H $_HOSTILO_ADDRESS$ -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
}

windows.cfg - sample host:

Code: Select all

define host{
use windows-server
host_name SERVERNAME
alias SERVERNAME
address 192.168.0.1
_ILO_ADDRESS 192.168.0.2
register 1
}

windows.cfg - service def:

Code: Select all

define service{
use generic-service
host_name SERVERNAME
service_description ILO2 Health Status
check_command check_ilo2_health
register 1
}

Ok, I fixed it. The problem was caused by a security issue.

The Plugin is executed by the nagios user which wasn't allowed to do so. After giving the nagios user the rights it worked!

Thanks for letting us know what the issue was!

Hi,

What kind of permission did you set up for check_ilo2_health ?

Currently my configuration is:

define host{
use template
host_name host
address 192.168.0.1
contact_group admins
_ILO_ADDRESS 192.168.0.2
register 1
}

define service{
use template
host_name host
service_description check_ilo2_health
check_command check_ilo2_health!-c -3
}

and it gets me into Status Information as follow:

State: CRITICAL
Status Information: ( Service check did not exit properly )

Thanks in advance.
