Check_ilo2_health

[niccnagios]

Distro: CentOS release 6.2
32 bit
VMware image NagiosXI

I don't know if there's a better place for plugin assistance threads so I am starting here.

I am attempting to get the check_ilo2_health plugin to work on our NagiosXI setup to get information from our iLO4 servers. The plugin was downloaded from here: https://www.monitoringexchange.org/atta ... _health.pl

Plugin version 1.55. I have gone through the instructions provided by the creator of the plugin and I have it loaded in XI but when I run the command from the commandline I get this:

[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_ilo2_health -h 10.223.1.251 -u ###### -p ###### -3 -o

I get the output for instructions of the plugin:

check_ilo2_health 1.55

Is there something that I'm doing obviously wrong here?
When I run it from the XI interface from Core Configuration Manager I get this:

OUTPUT: CHECK_ILO2_HEALTH UNKNOWN - plugin timed out (timeout 15s)

Thanks for your help.

Yes, just a simple mistake you used:

Code: Select all

-h

Instead of:

Code: Select all

-H

For defining the host address, -h drops the help text .

[niccnagios]

Ha that was a good catch. That explains a lot but I am still getting the output after changing the lower case to upper case H:

Code: Select all

CHECK_ILO2_HEALTH UNKNOWN - plugin timed out (timeout 15s)

This is coming from both the command line and the XI interface now. For access to the iLO interface I just hardcoded the User and Pass into the command and can fix that later with the variables if I could just get it to make a connection using the plugin first.

Again, the code is:

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_ilo2_health -h 10.223.1.251 -u ###### -p ###### -3 -o

Another possibility is if you have special chars in the username/password you may need to escape then, such as

Code: Select all

& ; $

You could try increasing the timeout to make sure that the plugin is not just timing out:

Code: Select all

./check_ilo2_health -h 10.223.1.251 -u ###### -p ###### -3 -o -t 60

[niccnagios]

Increasing the timeout to 60 returned all kinds of stuff:

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_ilo2_health -H svcreesx1.nicc.edu -u ###### -p ###### -3 -o -t 60

Nice...I thought that I tried the increase before but I only upped it to 30 at the time.

Thanks for your help on this...great!!! Good day.
