Linux CPU Stats Not Working

Post by axj0187 »

I've installed the RHEL 4 Agent and everything is reporting back OK except for CPU Stats. It reads:

UNKNOWN: iostat not found or is not executable by the nagios user.

I've tried manually installing the sysstat package, and the iostat command now works, but im still getting a status of UNKNOWN. Any Ideas?

This is an XIR1.5 installation.

System Info:

1. Linux Distribution and version?

cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)

uname -a
Linux movmbk.pitts.bayer.com 2.6.9-78.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Jul 22 18:11:48 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2. 32 or 64bit?

32 Bit.

3. VMware Image or Manual Install of XI?

VMWare Image.

Are there specials configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL?

Using a proxy.

Problem Solved.

iostat was installed to the /usr/local/bin directory. Just copy to /usr/bin and the plugin starts working again.
