Nagios 4.1.1 - Evenlog - Thousands of similar info messages

[Andi]

I installed Nagios 4.1.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

All checks are working fine.

But i get lots of informational messages like

[1461234388] wproc: HOST PERFDATA job 86 from worker Core Worker 28047 is a non-check helper but exited with return code 2
[1461234388] wproc: early_timeout=0; exited_ok=1; wait_status=512; error_code=0;
[1461234388] wproc: HOST PERFDATA job 86 from worker Core Worker 28050 is a non-check helper but exited with return code 2

How I can drill down to the origin of these messages?

In the nagios.cfg file, you can enable debugging and check the /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.debug file to see what is causing the error.
Can you post your nagios.cfg file so we can review it?

here is the nagios.cfg

in the nagios.log I find this

[1461310175] wproc: early_timeout=0; exited_ok=1; wait_status=512; error_code=0;

in the nagios.debug (debug_level=-1 and debug_verbosity=2) I see this

One causeof that message means a script/executable in the command_line of the eventhandler command definition can't be found (Edit: or the command isn't a valid shell command, check for typos, missing quotes, unescaped special characters). It's a good idea to use the full path to scripts, you can use the $USER1$ macro for executables in /usr/local/nagios/libexec.
If you have an event handler defined for the Baramundi-Agent, you may want to check it.

Thank you for your hint. I could fix it. It was a wrong pnp4nagios configuration.

Great to hear! Are we good to mark this thread as resolved?
