Rights problem: "ERROR: No parseable output"

[Tazzy]

Hello all,

i've got a problem with my Nagios Core 3.4.4
I've downloaded a script to check the ILO hardware of our HP servers.
When I run the command as root everthing runs fine.

Code: Select all

./check_ilo2_health.pl -H 10.0.10.8 -u USER -p PASSWORD -3 -n

Gives back:

Code: Select all

ILO2_HEALTH OK - (Board-Version: ILO>=3)

So far so good...

But when I run the script in my Nagios config

Code: Select all

# ESX CHECK HP Hardware
define command{
command_name    check-esx-hp-hardware
command_line    $USER1$/check_ilo2_health.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -3 -n
}

The output is "ILO2_HEALTH UNKNOWN - ERROR: No parseable output."

So my guess is that the user nagios doesn't have the rights to run this script.
Anyone knows how to further troubleshoot and solve this problem?

Thnx a lot!

So my guess is that the user nagios doesn't have the rights to run this script.

To test this, switch user to "nagios" and then run you check:

Code: Select all

su nagios
./check_ilo2_health.pl -H 10.0.10.8 -u USER -p PASSWORD -3 -n

Also, what are the file permissions?

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ilo2_health.pl

Hey,

thnx for the reply.
This is the output:

Code: Select all

[root@srv-nagios ~]# su nagios
bash-4.1$ ./check_ilo2_health.pl -H 10.0.10.8 -u USER -p PASSWORD -3 -n
bash: ./check_ilo2_health.pl: Permission denied
bash-4.1$ ls
ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied
bash-4.1$ cd /usr/
bin/     games/   lib/     libexec/ sbin/    src/
etc/     include/ lib64/   local/   share/   tmp/
bash-4.1$
bash-4.1$
bash-4.1$ cd /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
bash-4.1$ ./check_ilo2_health.pl -H 10.0.10.8 -u USER -p PASSWORD -3 -n
ILO2_HEALTH OK - (Board-Version: ILO>=3)
bash-4.1$

Could it be that this is the problem?

Code: Select all

bash: ./check_ilo2_health.pl: Permission denied

You must be on ubuntu or some other debian derivative as the paths I gave you in the previous commands were wrong for your distro. Try these commands:

Code: Select all

su nagios
cd /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
./check_ilo2_health.pl -H 10.0.10.8 -u USER -p PASSWORD -3 -n
ls -la /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ilo2_health.pl
