Unknown command(s): check_logfiles

[rkennedy]

What is the result when you run the following command?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxxxxx

Just to verify, did you restart NSClient after running those commands @Box293 mentioned?

Did you get the plugin from the website listed below?

https://labs.consol.de/nagios/check_logfiles/

According to the instructions on this page, if you use NSClient++ under Windows, you should define "check_logfiles" in NSC.ini (or nsclient.ini) as such:

Code: Select all

check_logfiles=C:\Perl\bin\perl C:\libexec\check_logfiles --config $ARG1$

Currently, you have:

Code: Select all

alias_check_logfiles = check_logfiles

Looking at your configuration file, this still seems to be the case. Can you update it, restart your NSClient++ service, and try again?

Hi,

i tried with without insert alias, and same issue.
i will remove the agent and install 0.3.9.

Let us know if installing NSClient++ 0.3.9 fixed your issue.

FYI, the use of NSClient++ or the NagEventLog falls a bit short in regards to log monitoring. I would recommend using the Nagios Log Server, which is a much better solution.

I would take a look at this tutorial as well, it was wrote by one of our very helpful community members.

You shouldn't have to go back to the old version, when you ran this command

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxxxxx

and you received this message

Code: Select all

that tells you that you can connect to the remote host just fine.

All that needs to be done it do define the command in the nsclient.ini file.
If you can provide a link to where you downloaded the check_logfiles.exe program, we could help out on that.
