Check_ec2 has timed out.

[rclanton]

I have spun up an AWS EC2 instance and installed Nagios XI primarily to test built-in AWS capability. I added an EC2 instance via the wizard and all the checks come back with "Check_ec2 has timed out." and the status of each service is unknown. Initially I could not run the check manually but after setting http_proxy and https_proxy env vars I can run the check manually as the nagios user but I still get this same status for the service.

Details:
Nagios XI 5.5.4
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
64-bit
Installed manually using the install.sh script.
During initial configuration I could connect via http and https but I did tell it ssl only during initial config.
This is an EC2 instance and does need to use a proxy to get external. I set this in the admin section and the update check works fine.

Is there something here I am missing? We are looking at XI primarily for the built-in AWS functionality to implement this quickly and, hopefully, easily.

Thanks for any assistance!

You are likely going to need to modify the check_ec2 command in the CCM -> Commands to something line this to get the environment variables set for nagios to use them:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/env http_proxy="http://your.proxy" https_proxy="https://your.proxy" $USER1$/check_ec2.py $ARG1$
