How to configure Nagios to run plugin with sudo

[abrist]

Looking over the previous posts, your command looks odd. You run a perl script, then sudo, and finally a shell script - all in the same command. Does this combination work on the cli?

Hi,

It's indeed working from the CLI, the first perl script is used to display the error message from nagios, without it I will not get any error message.

Refer to my attached screenshot.

Thanks,

This has to be a sudoers issue. The only real difference between my working sudo checks and yours I see is the following line:

Code: Select all

Defaults   !requiretty

Which is essentially disabled in my sudoers file.

Hi abrist,

May I know how to disable it? Do I just need to remove it ? Or add some # to comment it out?

Thanks,

Rudy

You would need to edit the sudoers file and edit that line to the following:

Code: Select all

##Defaults    requiretty

Hi,

I have changed the line as you suggested, and also add the following:

Code: Select all

nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/
apache ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/

And now my service test and check works.

Thanks for all your suggestion.
