i cant make non-official plugins to work

[Sander5]

I remember i also tried another check_printer script. exactly the same problem.

I have just used the check_snmp plugin and it works. (sort off)

[slansing]

What are your permissions on check_snmp?

[Sander5]

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 138700 Jun 25 13:06 check_snmp


-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 32647 Sep 26 09:58 check_snmp_printer

I hope i am not asking a very stupid question but i can't edit check_snmp it's unreadable, is this supposed to be like this?
check_snmp_printer is readable in clean text

[sreinhardt]

check_snmp is a binary file, and would not be readable via a normal editor. You would actually want to look at the source code it was compiled from. The other is likely a perl or some other script. As for your permissions, they normally should be owned by both the nagios user and group. Do you know if there is a reason this is not the case? You can try:

Code: Select all

 chmod nagios:nagios /path/to/plugin

To try and get them running properly. I realize they have everyone read and execute, but that is less than ideal.

Sorry for this late reaction.

Before i did anything (chmod) it reads: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 32647 Sep 26 09:58 check_snmp_printer
root wheel should be nagios nagios right?

[lmiltchev]

root wheel should be nagios nagios right?

Correct.

[Sander5]

I changed it to nagios nagios
Still the plugin may be missing 127 error.

What is the output of:

Code: Select all

grep USER1 /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg

[Sander5]

Code: Select all

# Nagios supports up to 32 $USERx$ macros ($USER1$ through $USER32$)
# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/libexec

my resource.cfg is located at /usr/local/etc/nagios and not /usr/local/nagios/etc

Is this normal? i have the feeling i did something wrong or i forgot something

[abrist]

What is the listing of:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/libexec

Is this normal? i have the feeling i did something wrong or i forgot something

How did you install nagios? (source, repo, etc)
