i cant make non-official plugins to work

[Sander5]

I did not create a additional nagios directory. must i move all plugins to the libexec directory?

[abrist]

Yes, it is suggested. Otherwise you must use a different path when referencing them.

I moved all the plugins to libexec from libexec/nagios. still the same message.

Code: Select all

sudo -u nagios bash /usr/local/libexec/check_snmp_printer -H 10.240.2.102 -C public -x "CONSUM black"
Canon C-EXV 29 Black Toner is at 89% - OK! | Canon C-EXV 29 Black Toner=89;20;5;

this works but in the website it won't work. I dont understand why it refuses to work, has it something to do with bash?

I just added this 2>&1 to the end of variable in the command.cfg. now it shows this in nagios webui: /usr/local/libexec/check_snmp_printer: function: not found

You should not be referencing direct paths within nagios. It is suggested to reference all plugins in the libexec dir with the $USER1$ variable. Such as: $USER1$/check_snmp_printer -H 10.240.2.102 -C public -x "CONSUM black"
Just to verify, you are just using core, and not nrpe or another remote agent?

[Sander5]

Just core.

it is still not working.

What is the value of $USER1$ in "/usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg" file?

[Sander5]

$USER1$=/usr/local/libexec

It was /usr/local/libexec/nagios

Well you should not have a nagios directory under your libexec directory, all of your plugins should go into libexec

i did change it.

It seems like you have shell issues. What is your default shell?

Code: Select all

env | grep SHELL

Where is bash located:

Code: Select all

which bash

[Sander5]

1. SHELL=/bin/csh


2. /usr/local/bin/bash

[abrist]

Just out of curiosity, if you change the default shell for nagios to bash, do you still have function problems with the plugins?
