NCPA Agent log errors

[jwuerflein]

Any ideas why I may be seeing these errors in my passive.log file ?

Code: Select all

/disk/logical/|/free --warning 90 --critical 95

This doesn't seem correct. You should have something like this:

Code: Select all

disk/logical/C:|/free --warning 90 --critical 95

or

Code: Select all

disk/logical/D:|/free --warning 90 --critical 95

Note: The drive letter is missing in your command...

Can you show us how the passive checks are defined?

This is a red hat server.

Try removing the following from the ncpa.cfg file and restart the passive service and let us know if the errors are gone.

Code: Select all

logmaxmb = 20
logbackups = 10

[jwuerflein]

No same.

Is the disk check working for you?

I will have to talk to the developers about the error messages.

[jwuerflein]

Unfortunately no, it doesn't seem to update the status.

[ssax]

In this section here:

Code: Select all

[nrdp]
token = token
hostname = host.domain.local
parent = http://nagiosxi.domain.local/

In XI, go to Admin > Check Transfers > Inbound Transfers.

Then click on the NRDP tab and change your token and then click update settings.

Copy the token and the NRDP link from that page and put them in your ncpa.cfg and restart ncpa_listener and ncpa_passive.

Code: Select all

[nrdp]
token = mynewtoken
hostname = host.domain.local
parent = http://nagiosxi.domain.local/nrdp/

Let us know if that works for you.

[jwuerflein]

I was missing the /nrpd/ which I added and that allowed me to get a little bit farther. Still a couple errors though.

Code: Select all

The checks are updating and alerting now.

The check I had before wasn't quite right, so I changed it to this which looks like it works:

%HOSTNAME%|root free = /disk/logical/|/used_percent --warning 90 --critical 95



Not sure why I'm getting the above errors? Here is the current config then:

Code: Select all

logbackups = 10
logfile = var/ncpa_listener.log
pidfile = var/ncpa_listener.pid

[passive]
uid = nagios
gid = nagcmd
handlers = nrdp
sleep = 10
loglevel = info
logmaxmb = 10
logbackups = 10
logfile = var/ncpa_passive.log
pidfile = var/ncpa_passive.pid

[nrdp]

%HOSTNAME%|root free = /disk/logical/|/used_percent --warning 90 --critical 95

I'm getting those same errors in mine, looks like a bug in NCPA, it still works though.
