Your first If on line 19 is capitalized and needs to be lower case

"If" in:
should be lower case:
Try changing it and let us know if this helped.

Ok I saw the problem fixed the scirpt now I see the following when it runs.
Code: Select all
[root@huey libexec]# ./check_ifx.sh
USE: check_ifx informixdir informixserver
informixdir = Informix directory
informixserver = server name
[root@huey libexec]#
It still shows like this in the XI and i restarted the xinetd & nrpe services.

You need to use the correct syntax... whatever is required by the plugin/script. It seems like "check_ifx.sh" requires two parameters - "
informixdir" and "
informixserver".
USE: check_ifx informixdir informixserver
Most probably, you are not passing any, that's why you see the error in the GUI.

Yes the plugin is going to require you to setup the command to specify the Informix directory & server name
Code: Select all
./check_ifx.sh /my/informixdir IP.OF.INFORMIX.SERVER

Where do I add this ?
check_ifx informixdir informixserver
&
Code: Select all
./check_ifx.sh /my/informixdir IP.OF.INFORMIX.SERVER
I do have this in the nrpe.cfg file
#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
#command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
#command[check_informix]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_informix.sh
command[check_http]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.s
Here is the INFORMIXDIR
INFORMIXDIR=/usr/informix
INFORMIXSERVER=hueynet

First of all, you need to fix the typo in your command. Change this:
Code: Select all
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.s
to this:
Code: Select all
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh
Next, you need to decide if you want to have the arguments "hard-coded" or passed in Nagios XI".
Example 1 (hard-coded arguments)
On the client
Code: Select all
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh /usr/informix hueynet
: of the servername doesn't work, you could use the IP address (192.168.1.42). You will need to restart xinetd (or nrpe if it's running as a "standalone" daemon) in order for changes to take effect.
On the Nagios XI server
Place the following in $ARG1$ field in the CCM under the "Common Settings" tab:
Save, and apply configuration.
Example 2 (passing arguments in XI)
On the client
Code: Select all
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh $ARG1$
: of the servername doesn't work, you could use the IP address (192.168.1.42). You will need to restart xinetd (or nrpe if it's running as a "standalone" daemon) in order for changes to take effect.
On the Nagios XI server
Place the following in $ARG1$ field in the CCM under the "Common Settings" tab:
Place the following in $ARG2$ field in the CCM under the "Common Settings" tab:
Save, and apply configuration.

Here is what I did.
modified the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
Code: Select all
#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
#command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
#command[check_informix]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_informix.sh
command[check_http]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http
command[check_ifx]=/usr/lccal/nagios/libexec/check_ifx.sh $ARG1$
[root@huey etc]#
here is what i did on the XI . Is this correct? When I run the command from the XI under "run command" I get the following:
Code: Select all
[nagios@nag ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.42 -t 30 -c check_ifx -a '/usr/informix hueynet'
