check_hp output null

[makgab]

Hi!

I try it: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... hp/details

In command line is okay: "Compaq/HP Agent Check: overall system state OK"

But in nagios output: (null)

Code: Select all

define command {
  command_name check_hp
  command_line    $USER1$/check_hp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -v 2
}

define service {
  use              generic-service
  host_name   hp_proliant
  service_description HP STATUS
  check_command  check_hp
}

What is wrong?

The check_hp file is not for nagios. Need for example a shell script.
Can anyone send a script to it?

So, the following command works from the cli:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hp -H <Hostaddress> -C public -v 2

Correct?
Have you attempted to run the command from the cli as user "nagios", or just as root?

[makgab]

I tried to run as nagios user:

Code: Select all

sudo -u nagios ./check_hp -H 10.10.10.115 -C public -v 2

Then it was correctly. I got the response from HP server.

In Webinterface output: (null)
Why is it?

Most likely this is due to permissions on the file. Can you "ls -lva [path/to/file]"

[makgab]

the file permission:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hp     rwxrwxr-x     root root 

Do I try to set it to nagios.nagios?
(I will try it...)

Try nagios.apache, if that does not work, try nagios.nagios. It should not be root.root as the web interface will not execute it as root.

It doesn't work.
Same... output: (null)

Can you "su" to the nagios user and try executing the plugin from the command line with the values you would be using for the check?

Code: Select all

# su - nagios
This account is currently not available.

Because nagios has nologin by default.

But it gets output, it works in command line:

Code: Select all

sudo -u nagios ./check_hp -H 10.10.10.114 -C public -v 2
