check_xi_by_ssh

[jcwuerfl]

Testing from the "Test Check Command" button from the NagiosXI interface doesn't work the same as doing it from the Nagios linux command line as Nagios. Can this be fixed? It works fine from the Linux command line.

Thanks!

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H hostname.domain.local -C "/home/nagios/plugins/check_cpu_stats.sh" 
OUTPUT: Remote command execution failed: Could not create directory '/var/www/.ssh'.

I have reported this here before:

Please feel free to + 1 it.

In this case, the problem is because a check_by_ssh plugin at the command line stores the keys in the nagios user's home directory.

When executed via CCM this uses the apache user and hence it doesn't have access to the nagios user's home directory.

So for all further testing of this service you need to:

• Make the changes to the service
  Save the Service
  Apply Configuration
  Go back to the home screen and find the Service
  When viewing the Service Status Details page click the Schedule a forced immediate check link

Thanks. Right so you almost need another very small sub-website that's run as nagios to do the ssh test? in any case I'll go +1 that one.

That sounds good. Thanks!
