Copy custom scripts from core to XI

[kathleenchristie]

Hello,

I have some custom scripts that I need to move from our old core system to the new XI server.

I have placed them in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and I can run the check successfully on the command line with no issues.

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_password_age.sh -w 10 -c 30
WARNING: The last password change for user was 22 days ago

But when I try to create a service in XI using the CCM I cannot find that in the list. And I did confirm that it is Admin --> manage plugins.

Am I putting the shell script in the wrong location? Is XI not pulling in for some reason?

That is the correct location for plugins so that seems weird. Could you try restarting your nagios and nagiosxi and see if it is a caching issue? It could also possibly be a permissions issue, you could try chowning it to nagios:nagios and see if that fixes it.

You need a nagios command. Services run commands, and commands run plugins.
