Exit code - Python script

[amitdaniel]

i'm define the command like that :

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    check_cloud_watch
        command_line   /usr/bin/python /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_cloud_watch.py
        }

You mean that i have to change the command like that :

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    check_cloud_watch
        command_line     /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_cloud_watch.py
        }

Already tried this and it's not working.

hmm, ok. I know you are able to run the script and get reasonable output back. Have you tried su-ing to the nagios user and executing it, to make sure that you are not erroring there?

[amitdaniel]

yes of course .
if i run the script with nagios user everything is working fine.
(Manually run)

[eloyd]

Please run your script as the nagios user, replacing all command line arguments with their appropriate values, and then type this immediately after the script stops:

Code: Select all

echo $?

Please verify that the exit status (which is what the $? variable is) matches what you expect.

Guys ,

Thank you all but i resolved the issue .
let me share with you the solution.

When you run the script with nagios / root you must create a file called .boto in the home directory with the accessKey & SecretKey.

BUT when nagios run the script like daemon we need to use another method that include the AccessKey & SecretKey inside the script.

Code: Select all

Cloudwatch_Connection_Virginia = boto.ec2.cloudwatch.CloudWatchConnection(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, True, None, None, None, None, None, 0, None)

AFTER THAT

Code: Select all

Alarm_Virginia = Cloudwatch_Connection_Virginia.describe_alarms(None, None, None, None, "ALARM", None

Now everything is working fine

Thank you all for your great help !!!!!

[eloyd]

Glad to hear it is working!

This sort of thing catches me out far too often!

I'm trying to make a habit of testing plugins like:

Code: Select all

su - nagios -c "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_something -H somehost -w 1 -c 2"

Also, you shouldn't be logged in as 'root', ideally!

Instead of using print use sys.stdout.write
Makes the code a little better.

Closing as resolved.
