What should i do to make my workers do the checks?

[tgriep]

When the NagiosXI / Gearman server runs a check and that check is enabled to be sent to a Gearman worker, the worker will receive the check command from the Gearman server and run it locally.
So, the worker needs to have all of the plugins installed on it for any of the checks that it has to run.

How can i get these plugins on the workers? via nagios core? or i've never done that.

Below is the link for installing Nagios Core and the plugins. Follow through it but you can skip the Core section.

Here is the link to the standard Nagios Core plugins. This will get you started but you may have to copy some of the plugins from the XI server to your worker server.

Waiting till i get my ghost host problem resolved, before i can continue. I copied all scripts to workers with SCP in the meanwhile.

I highly suggest that you add all bandwidth, vmware, oracle, and any other checks required to run on the XI box (due to dependencies, or in the case of bandwidth checks - local rrds) to a servicegroup that gearman will be configured to *not* check as these checks will fail if checked through gearman due to extra requirements on the local system.

litsupport.box, can you give us an update on if you are still having issues?

I've re installed the Nagios XI completely by deploying an OVF template from: http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... loads/main - installing mod gearman and reconfiguring the xi to my needs. Now everything works like a charm again.

I've copied all scripts from the master/job server ( /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ ) to the workers.

For now the workers do the checks as they should do. I'm not having any issues.

This topic can also close. Thank you.

Thanks for the update, I will be locking the topic, I'm glad that issues are resolved.
