What happens if you run this command:

Code: Select all

su nagios -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/StorMan/arcconf GETLOGS 1 DEVICE tabular"

The part between quotes is straight from your plugin, and it seems that the result should be an integer of some kind after some filtering. This is true when you run it as root, but for some reason when you run it as nagios it's not a well-formed integer. I'm thinking maybe it prints an error of some kind instead.

[Shivaramakrishnan]

su nagios -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/StorMan/arcconf GETLOGS 1 DEVICE tabular"
Could not open log file: /var/log/UcliEvt.log
Controllers found: 0
Invalid controller number.
Could not open log file: /var/log/UcliEvt.log


Permissions set on the UcliEvt.log

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37942 May 16 21:14 UcliEvt.log

[Shivaramakrishnan]

and when I change the permissions to 777
su nagios -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/StorMan/arcconf GETLOGS 1 DEVICE tabular"
Controllers found: 0
Invalid controller number.

[agriffin]

Now that you've changed the permissions, does the plugin work? If it does, then instead of changing permissions on it to 777, you could set it to 775 and change its group to nagios. Then the permissions will behave exactly as before except that nagios will have access to it (instead of absolutely anybody being able to change it).

Code: Select all

chmod 775 /var/log/UcliEvt.log
chgrp nagios /var/log/UcliEvt.log

[Shivaramakrishnan]

samething


[root@dbs01-ple03 StorMan]# cd /var/log
[root@dbs01-ple03 log]# chmod 775 /var/log/UcliEvt.log
[root@dbs01-ple03 log]# chgrp nagios /var/log/UcliEvt.log
[root@dbs01-ple03 log]# su nagios -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/StorMan/arcconf GETLOGS 1 DEVICE tabular"
Controllers found: 0
Invalid controller number.

[Shivaramakrishnan]

And the command works fine.

/usr/StorMan/arcconf GETLOGS 1 DEVICE tabular
Controllers found: 1

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was asking you to run the nagios check again:

Code: Select all

su nagios -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_arcconf.sh -w 50 -c 70"

Does it work with the new permissions?

[Shivaramakrishnan]

same old error

su nagios -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_arcconf.sh -w 50 -c 70"
(standard_in) 1: parse error
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_arcconf.sh: line 56: [: : integer expression expected
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_arcconf.sh: line 60: [: : integer expression expected
RAID OK, numParityErrors, hwErrors, mediumErrors

[agriffin]

Hmm... are you sure it worked at all when run as root? I can't see anything else that would have caused that error, if I understood you correctly.
