NSCA ocsp command not executing

[mitchsmith]

Hi,

I have an XI installation in which I am trying to get a subset of checks to send results to a central nagios instance using NSCA.

In the check settings obsess_over_service is set to on. And the ocsp command is defined. However appears to not execute.

submit_service_check command

Code: Select all

$USER1$/eventhandlers/submit_service_check "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATEID$ "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | $SERVICEPERFDATA$ [$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$]]

resources.cfg

Code: Select all

$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec

nagios.cfg
obsess_over_services is set to 0 as i do not want to submit check results for all just a subset. Is this correct?

Code: Select all

obsess_over_services=0
ocsp_timeout=60
ocsp_command=submit_service_check

submit_service_check

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#Script submit_service_check
PRINTF="/usr/bin/printf"
CMD="/usr/local/bin/send_nsca"
CFG="/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg"
HOST=$1
SRV=$2
RESULT=$3
OUTPUT=$4

$PRINTF "%b" "$HOST;$SRV;$RESULT;$OUTPUT\n" | $CMD -H myCentralNagios.myDomain -c $CFG -d ";"

As a test i have executed

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_service_check  "hellotest" "test" 1 "TESTING MITCHELL"

manually and this sends a check result to my central host.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in resolving this matter.

Thanks,

Mitchell

nagios.cfg

Code: Select all

    obsess_over_services=0
    ocsp_timeout=60
    ocsp_command=submit_service_check

obsess_over_services needs to be 1 in the nagios.cfg otherwise it is off globally.

[mitchsmith]

thanks for your reply.

I have set obsess_over_services=1

But this has not resolved the issue, the command is still not executed.

If you go to your service in the CCM in the Check Settings tab is Obsess over service "on"?

[mitchsmith]

hi,

yes obsess_over_service is on

[scottwilkerson]

Just to verify, you did restart nagios correct?

Also, looking at your submit_service_check command, it doesn't seem correct, there is an odd number of quotes and ]

Code: Select all

$USER1$/eventhandlers/submit_service_check "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATEID$ "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | $SERVICEPERFDATA$ [$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$]]

Can you run it from the commandline passing arbitrary data?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_service_check "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATEID$ "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | $SERVICEPERFDATA$ [$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$]]

Hi,

If i execute from the command line the submit script executes:

Code: Select all

[nagios@nagiosrem oc102]$  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_service_check  "hellotest" "test" 1 "TESTING MITCHELL"
1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.
[nagios@nagiosrem oc102]$

I have also tried editing the command to use the exact path to the script opposed to the $USER1$ reference

I have reloaded the configuration (Apply Configuration). Do I need to restart the nagios fully?

[scottwilkerson]

Your submit_service_check command you showed above is different.

Try

Code: Select all

$USER1$/eventhandlers/submit_service_check "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATEID$ "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | $SERVICEPERFDATA$"

Then restart nagios

I'm not sure but we may need to escape the |, if so it would be

Code: Select all

$USER1$/eventhandlers/submit_service_check "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATEID$ "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ \| $SERVICEPERFDATA$"

[mitchsmith]

I tried editing the submit_service_check command to in nagios to use test data opposed to values:

Code: Select all

$USER1$/eventhandlers/submit_service_check "HOST1" "FAKESERVICE" 1 "Some Output Description"

I also added a logger line to the submit_service_check to write to a file when the script executes.

It appears that the command is not executed

[scottwilkerson]

What are the permissions on submit_service_check

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_service_check

we need to make sure the nagios user can execute this...
