New Perl plugins not pulled down by NRDS_Win

[chris_merris]

I'm currently testing the passive monitoring capabilities of NRDS for a Healthcare IT company with systems deployed on-site all across the country (100's of hosts and services). Since most all of these hosts are not on our network, the passive "phone-home" capability of NRDS has really gotten us excited. Almost all of our remote servers are Windows boxes, so NRDS_Win is the obvious choice.

I've already been able to successfully install the NRDS_Win Agent on a test Windows box. The box showed up, along with the default services under "Unconfigured Objects" in Nagios XI, and I was able to successfully configure them.

I'm trying to expand these default services and write some tests to monitor some application components on the Windows box.

In order to test this out quickly - Perl is an obvious choice, so I installed ActivePerl on the Windows box. I wrote a plugin script, which I was able to execute successfully from a command prompt on the Windows box.

Here are the steps I tried in order to get the plugin to auto-deploy from the Nagios XI server to my Windows box:
1) I copied the Perl script to the Nagios XI server in "/usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Generic". I also changed the owner/group to nagios.nagios
2) Then, in "NRDS Config Manager", I added the test to the existing config used by the Windows box via an extra line (following the convention of the previous/default tests) - here's what my commands section text box of the Edit page looked like:

command[__HOST__] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\check_winping.exe -H localhost --warning 200,40% --critical 400.0,80%
command[SYS_NUM_PROCESSES] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\check_winprocess.exe --warning 40 --critical 50
command[SYS_CPU_LOAD] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\cpuload_nrpe_nt.exe 70 90
command[SYS_DISKSPACE] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\diskspace_nrpe_nt.exe c: 77 90
command[SYS_EVENT_LOG] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\eventlog_nrpe_nt.exe -m 7200
command[SYS_MEMLOAD] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\memload_nrpe_nt.exe 70 99
command[SYS_DNS_CLIENT] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\service_nrpe_nt.exe "DNS Client"
command[PERL_SCRIPT] = $PLUGIN_DIR$\perl_script.pl 100 500

3) After saving the config, I waited for the passive checks on this host to refresh in the "Service Detail" page, but none of the existing checks ever refreshed. I waited about 15 or 20 minutes just to be safe, since my recheck interval on the remote host is set to 5 minutes. The new test did not show up under "Unconfigured Objects" either. I think something about my new configuration must be causing some sort of error, but I don't see any errors in "C:\Program Files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\logs\NRDS_Debug.log" - just that the 7 tests were successfully submitted:

<result>
<status>0</status>
<message>OK</message>
<meta>
<output>7 checks processed.</output>
</meta>
</result>

Even though there should now be 8 checks.

4) I checked the Windows Host - and found that "C:\Program files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\config.ini" had been updated with my new perl script line. However, my perl script was not copied down to "C:\Program Files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\plugins"

5) I removed my perl script line from the config and re-saved it. After a few minutes, the host once again showed recent information in the "Service Detail" page.

I repeated the above steps multiple times and tried multiple different file paths for the PERL_SCRIPT plugin - including copying perl_script.pl to the /usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Windows directory, and changing the NRDS config line to the location on the central server, i.e.
command[PERL_SCRIPT] = /usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Generic/perl_script.pl 100 500
and
command[PERL_SCRIPT] = /usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Windows/perl_script.pl 100 500


Am I doing something obviously wrong here? Or is there some documentation that clear this up for me? I'm thinking there's something extra I need to do in order to add script as a plugin to the central server. Seemed like most of the plugin installation features in XI revolve around active plugins.

Having the plugins deploy automatically from the central server is very important for our business needs. Thanks in advance.

The correct command would have likely been

Code: Select all

$PLUGIN_DIR$\perl_script.pl 100 500

Can you verify the permissions on this file

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Windows/perl_script.pl

[chris_merris]

Here's the output of the ls -l command:

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi Generic]# ls -l perl_script.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 951 Nov 13 13:09 perl_script.pl

(It's currently in
"/usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Generic" at the moment, but I can move it back to the Windows one if needed)

[chris_merris]

Did a little more testing - I simplified my perl script to be extremely simple (i.e a print statement followed by an exit(0)) - and also granted all permissions on it. Tried placing it in both the Generic and Windows plugin folders as well. Same result as before.

[scottwilkerson]

A couple questions, if you look at the following file on the remote machine
C:\Program Files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\config.ini

Are these item set?

Code: Select all

UPDATE_CONFIG=1
UPDATE_PLUGINS=1

Also, does the CONFIG_VERSION match the one in the web UI?

Also, is there any notices in the log file on the remote machine?

[chris_merris]

Here's my NRDS Config.ini file on the remote host - I verified that the version is the same as in Nagios XI:

Code: Select all

[scottwilkerson]

does the plugin directory on the windows server have perl_script.pl in it?

If so, on your system you may need to make the command something like

Code: Select all

command[PERL_SCRIPT] = perl.exe $PLUGIN_DIR$\perl_script.pl

Which also, I have to ask.

Do you have perl installed on the windows system? And have it in the path?

[chris_merris]

The plugin directory on the Windows box does not include perl_script.pl in it, but the Config.ini file does have the new test, now modified with

Code: Select all

command[PERL_SCRIPT] = perl.exe $PLUGIN_DIR$\perl_script.pl

It's kind of weird I don't see anything in the debug log about detecting a new plugin or attempting to download it.

I also verified that Perl is installed on the system, and is on the path. I'm able to run perl and perl.exe from the command line as well (including running perl_script.pl)

[chris_merris]

I'm going to upgrade XI to the current version and then re-try this scenario.

Thanks

[slansing]

Sounds good let us know what happens.
