nagios script returns wrong information in nagios

[karim buzdar]

Code: Select all

script written by: karim buzdar
purpose: nagios check for kannel stuck
Date : dec 8, 2013

/etc/init.d/kannel status | grep -i -E "SMS: received" | awk '{ print $3 }' > kannel_temp_1.txt

/etc/init.d/kannel status | grep -i -E "SMS: received" | awk '{ print $7 }' > kannel_temp_2.txt

/etc/init.d/kannel status | grep -i -E "SMS: received" | awk '{ print $3 }' > kannel_temp_3.txt

/etc/init.d/kannel status | grep -i -E "SMS: received" | awk '{ print $7 }' > kannel_temp_4.txt

recvsms1=$(cat kannel_temp_2.txt) 
sentsms2=$(cat kannel_temp_3.txt) 
recvsms2=$(cat kannel_temp_4.txt)

if [ $sentsms1 == $sentsms2 ] && [ $recvsms1 == $recvsms2 ];

then 
exitcode=0 
statustxt=ok 

else 
exitcode=2 
statustxt=critical 
fi

echo "$exitcode - $statustxt"

my script works fine on client machine but returns wrong information (always critical) in nagios.

please help me out.

Please use code wraps when you are placing code in your messages. We also need to know what output nagios is giving you with the critical state return. It sounds like this is a permissions issue, likely the plugin requires root access and NRPE is executing it as nagios.

[karim buzdar]

output returned is 2 - critical

[scottwilkerson]

Your script should end with something like

Code: Select all

exit $exitcode

[karim buzdar]

still same output

[slansing]

What did you change it to?

[karim buzdar]

i put exit $exitcode at the end of the code.

[scottwilkerson]

Can you post the full contents of the script. Also, can you post what txt is returned when you run from the command line, like so:

Code: Select all

su nagios -c '/usr/local/nagiosxi/libexec/YOURSCRIPT.sh;echo $?'

Thanks

echo "$exitcode - $statustxt"

output returtned:

/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -t 60 -H 192.168.5.78 -c check_kannel_status

2 - critical

Command returned exit status 0

Please when you post code wrap it in code tags so it is easier to read. I have made the change for you this time.

As for your issue, you don't want to echo "$exitcode", you want do to as scottwilkerson said and put

Code: Select all

exit $exitcode

at the end of your code.

And can you please respond to scottwilkerson's other question?

[...] Also, can you post what txt is returned when you run from the command line, like so:

su nagios -c '/usr/local/nagiosxi/libexec/YOURSCRIPT.sh;echo $?'
