passive check not working

[Pratapa]

Hi,

We have configured a passive check on one server in Nagios but it is now showing correct results.

Status information is showing as "WARNING: Nagios has not received an alert from host1 for at least 5 minutes"

host1 is a Linux server.

Following is the service definition.

define service {
use oracle-service-passive-template
service_description Oracle Active Sessions: step
host_name host1
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 300 ; Service is deemed stale after 5 minutes
check_command check_passive_warning!"Nagios has not received an alert from $HOSTNAME$ for at least 5 minutes"
contact_groups oracle-admins
}

Following is the script placed in crontab of oracle user on host1 server.

##Check DB active sessions
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /home/oracle/DBA_SCRIPTS/check_active_sessions.sh /home/oracle/DBA_SCRIPTS/step_prd.env > /dev/null


We are using the following function.

nagios_notify () {
if [ -z "$NSCA_CODE" ]
then
NSCA_CODE=$RETVAL
fi

$NSCABIN/send_nsca -H $NSCAHOST -p $NSCAPORT -d "," -c $NSCACFG/send_nsca.cfg <<EOF > /dev/null
$HOST,$NSCA_SERVICE_NAME,$NSCA_CODE,$NSCA_MSG
EOF
}


NSCABIN=/usr/local/nagios/bin
NSCACFG=/usr/local/nagios/etc
NSCAHOST=nagios.server
NSCAPORT=5667
HOST=host1
NSCA_SERVICE_NAME="Oracle Active Sessions: ${ORACLE_SID}"
NSCA_MSG="There are ${COUNT} active session(s) in $ORACLE_SID database | activesessions=${COUNT}"

NSCA_CODE based on certain conditions, it can be 0 or 1 or 2.

Please help me in fixing this.



When we are executing the script at command prompt it is working fine.

$sh -x /home/oracle/DBA_SCRIPTS/check_active_sessions.sh /home/oracle/DBA_SCRIPTS/step_prd.env

+ RESULT=1
+ '[' 1 -gt 0 ']'
+ NSCA_CODE=0
+ NSCA_MSG='There are .22 active session(s) in step database | activesessions=.22'
+ nagios_notify
+ '[' -z 0 ']'
+ /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H nagios.server -p 5667 -d , -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg
+ rm -f /tmp/tmp.62847.1
+ exit 0
