I see.. Can you verify you have the correct information about your Oracle server in the tnsnames.ora file...

yes i have....the tns entries are correct

i tried the instructions on the "http://usestrict.net/2009/07/perl-insta ... nt-client/" link

now i am getting a different error when i execute on the command line.....

CRITICAL - cannot connect to dbatools:1527. ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)


when i use the oracle tablespace plugin i get the below error
CRITICAL - cannot connect to dbatools.bose.com:1521. ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)

my database and listener on the dbatools.bose.com are running fine....

i have one more update

i tried the following from the command line and it worked....

nagmon:/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/bin> /usr/bin/env TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_health --connect "(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbatools.bose.com)(PORT = 1527)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = pwdb)))" --username system --password "****" --mode connection-time --warning 1 --critical 5
OK - 0.28 seconds to connect as SYSTEM | connection_time=0.2812;1;5


how do i get the error fixed from the web browser

this is great news

You can edit the commands in
Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Commands -> Modify ( *oracle*)

You can add the TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin as used when it worked

the command that worked was tnsping..
i am trying to run the tablespace info check on the command line
i am getting this error


nagmon:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/bin/env TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_health --connect "(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbatools.bose.com)(PORT = 1527)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = pwdb)))" --username system --password "****" --name pwdb --mode tablespace-usage --warning 90 --critical 98
CRITICAL - unable to aquire tablespace info

With the tablespace options you'll nned to specify the tablespace with the --tablespace option. Can you try adding that option to the command?

if i need to find the tablespace usage of all the tablespaces do i have to give this options in the command


i tried with one tablespace...still the same issue

nagmon:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/bin/env TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_health --connect "(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbatools.bose.com)(PORT = 1527)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = pwdb)))" --username system --password "****" --name pwdb --mode tablespace-usage --tablespace "system" --warning 90 --critical 98
CRITICAL - unable to aquire tablespace info

Generally the tablespace is capitalized and case sensitive if I'm not mistaken. Try it with SYSTEM

same error even if i enter the tablespace name in UPPER CASE

nagmon:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/bin/env TNS_ADMIN=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_health --connect "(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbatools.bose.com)(PORT = 1527)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = pwdb)))" --username system --password "*****" --name pwdb --mode tablespace-usage --tablespace "SYSTEM" --warning 90 --critical 98
CRITICAL - unable to aquire tablespace info
nagmon:/usr/local/nagios/libexec>

Lets try the command as follows
