Why installed nagios plugins doesnt work?

[jdalrymple]

Error: Could not bind socket to interface eth0. Check your privileges

This is weird. Nagios by itself doesn't open any sockets to listen on. What command are you running that generates this error? Furthermore, are you running that command as root?

[Jessuzz94]

just the check_dhcp, i run it as root and normal user

[jdalrymple]

Lots of confusion:

check_dhcp

has nothing to do with the originally stated problem:

When i put the command "systemctl status nagios.service it trhows me:

Code: Select all

    Failed to start LSB: Starts and stops the Nagios monitoring server.

Is it possible you're trying to install nagios and also plugins on your dhcp server? This is not the right approach. You shouldn't have to install anything on the remotely monitored dhcp server.

The issue is that i only want to test plugins in the linux server, its not a dhcp server, but if its not, it should be show CRITICAL or something in the check_dhcp plugin, the problem is that some plugins doesnt work, i only testing plugins if in one future i could use they.

So all you want to do is test the plugins and not setup Nagios for monitoring?

Can you show us which plugins you are running, how you ran them and the output from running the plugins?

[Jessuzz94]

i only change to the plugins diretory ( cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec ) and run the ./check_dhcp command to test and shows me the thing of privileges, i have seen some issue with two plugins, i do a "ls" in the ibexec directory and it shows me all the plugins but the check_dhcp and check_icmp are shading in red, most of plugins are writted in green, and few in blue, what means?

The colors are normal, that is what you should be seeing. Green for example is an executable file. Blue is a directory. The red may look alarming but it is normal, can you still run it?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/./check_icmp -h

Can you please include some output of the errors you are getting?

[Jessuzz94]

It work in nagios with ubuntu server, not work 100% it basically says that i need to put more arguments, but in my actual centOS its throws me the same thing, the privileges
