Need to Monitor Informix

[scottwilkerson]

Your first If on line 19 is capitalized and needs to be lower case

[lmiltchev]

"If" in:

Code: Select all

If [ $# -lt 2 ]

should be lower case:

Code: Select all

if [ $# -lt 2 ]

Try changing it and let us know if this helped.

Ok I saw the problem fixed the scirpt now I see the following when it runs.

Code: Select all

[root@huey libexec]# ./check_ifx.sh
USE: check_ifx informixdir informixserver

         informixdir = Informix directory
         informixserver = server name
[root@huey libexec]#

It still shows like this in the XI and i restarted the xinetd & nrpe services.

[lmiltchev]

You need to use the correct syntax... whatever is required by the plugin/script. It seems like "check_ifx.sh" requires two parameters - "informixdir" and "informixserver".

USE: check_ifx informixdir informixserver

Most probably, you are not passing any, that's why you see the error in the GUI.

[scottwilkerson]

Yes the plugin is going to require you to setup the command to specify the Informix directory & server name

Code: Select all

./check_ifx.sh /my/informixdir IP.OF.INFORMIX.SERVER

[donnyforbes]

Where do I add this ?

check_ifx informixdir informixserver

&

Code: Select all

./check_ifx.sh /my/informixdir IP.OF.INFORMIX.SERVER

I do have this in the nrpe.cfg file
#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
#command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
#command[check_informix]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_informix.sh
command[check_http]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.s

Here is the INFORMIXDIR

INFORMIXDIR=/usr/informix
INFORMIXSERVER=hueynet

so do do this for the arugument in the XI and where?

[donnyforbes]

Is what I do?

[donnyforbes]

Can someone please provide me with the next steps?

Thank you,

[lmiltchev]

First of all, you need to fix the typo in your command. Change this:

Code: Select all

command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.s

to this:

Code: Select all

command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh

Next, you need to decide if you want to have the arguments "hard-coded" or passed in Nagios XI".

Example 1 (hard-coded arguments)

On the client

Code: Select all

command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh /usr/informix hueynet

Note: of the servername doesn't work, you could use the IP address (192.168.1.42). You will need to restart xinetd (or nrpe if it's running as a "standalone" daemon) in order for changes to take effect.

On the Nagios XI server

Place the following in $ARG1$ field in the CCM under the "Common Settings" tab:

Code: Select all

check_ifx

Save, and apply configuration.


Example 2 (passing arguments in XI)

On the client

Code: Select all

command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh $ARG1$

Note: of the servername doesn't work, you could use the IP address (192.168.1.42). You will need to restart xinetd (or nrpe if it's running as a "standalone" daemon) in order for changes to take effect.

On the Nagios XI server

Place the following in $ARG1$ field in the CCM under the "Common Settings" tab:

Code: Select all

check_ifx

Place the following in $ARG2$ field in the CCM under the "Common Settings" tab:

Code: Select all

-a '/usr/informix hueynet'

Save, and apply configuration.

Here is what I did.

modified the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

Code: Select all

#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
#command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
#command[check_informix]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_informix.sh
command[check_http]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh $ARG1$
[root@huey etc]#

here is what i did on the XI . Is this correct? When I run the command from the XI under "run command" I get the following:

Code: Select all

[nagios@nag ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.42 -t 30 -c check_ifx -a '/usr/informix hueynet'
