Nagios Support Forum

What happens if you execute the entire check command (including all options etc) from the command line?

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load IP ADDRESS -w 2 -c 3
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00|load1=0.000;2.000;3.000;0; load5=0.000;2.000;3.000;0; load15=0.000;2.000;3.000;0;

But it cannot show the correct load, it shows warning and critical as it is in arguments.

Lets see the permissions of the following

This is a check_load command, not a check_nrpe command.
The check_load command is for localhost only, so ip address is not required (or not even working).

drwxrwxr-x. 3 root root 4096 Feb 11 09:35 /usr/local/nagios/libexec


drwxr-xr-x. 9 root root 4096 Feb 9 20:23 /usr/local/nagios

Then how can i check from nagios server.

You need to install nrpe and nagios-plugins on the remote host and then write some check_nrpe check commands/service check definitions for those checks.

I have already installed nrpe and nrpe plugins on remote host.

I believe these permissions are wrong, as the monitoring engine runs as the user nagios.
Run this command on your Nagios host:

No effect with these permissions.
