Hello, @progressive.nagiosXI. Let's increase permissions for the check_memory.pl plugin on the remote NRPE server.

chmod 777 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_memory.pl
chmod u+x /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_memory.pl

Then on the remote server sign in as nagios user and execute the plugin:

su - nagios
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_memory.pl

Have tried this using the command with nagios user and given permission or 777.

As we can see nagios xi is running the command and also getting the actual state ( ok or critical ) its only missing the binary number.

The output from the nagios screenshot and the output from the command you ran (check_memory.pl) does not look like it's the same plugin, please attach the plugin that is used for the check_mem command in your nrpe.cfg file on the HP-UX server so that we can debug further.

Thank you

snapshots are different because we have tried two plugins,


The first plugin is check_mem ==> by running this we are getting the wrong output as its always showing this

[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.200.4.161 -t 30 -c check_mem -a ' -w 80 -c 90 '
OK - System Memory is at % |memory=;90;80;00;80

No Matter if the actual is in the warning state or critical and also not giving any number, but the plugin is running absolutely fine in command line

this is the plugin we are using

How is "check_mem" command defined in nrpe.cfg on the remote box?

What is the output of the following command, run from the CLI on the HP-UX box?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/shells

Hi Team,

Sorry for delay in response, please find attached NRPE>cfg file and we are not able to run command cat /etc/shells in HP-UX box.

[lmiltchev]

The "check_mem" command is defined as such:

Code: Select all

command[check_mem]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem $ARG1$

so, let's try to run the plugin locally (on the remote box), and check the output:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem -w 80 -c 90

Also, run the following commands on the remote machine and show the output:

Code: Select all

swapinfo -m
swapinfo -m | grep memory |  sed 's/'%'//' | awk '{ print $5 }'

Hi Team,

Please find output

HSOLMANDEV:/usr/local/nagios/libexec #./check_mem -w 80 -c 90
OK - System Memory is at 10% |memory=10;90;80;00;80
HSOLMANDEV:/usr/local/nagios/libexec #

HSOLMANDEV:/usr/local/nagios/libexec #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem -w 80 -c 90
OK - System Memory is at 10% |memory=10;90;80;00;80
HSOLMANDEV:/usr/local/nagios/libexec #



output of

HSOLMANDEV:/usr/local/nagios/libexec #swapinfo -m | grep memory | sed 's/'%'//' | awk '{ print $5 }'
10



output of swapinfo
