stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping, ...) fa

After you ran ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios, did you also run

Code: Select all

make
make install 

It looks like your plugins haven't been compiled yet.

Wow, we're in business! It worked! Okay, I followed the instructions again, this time with the make and make install.

So I am not receiving the error for the Nagios Server anymore...only the client now.

Nice!

I believe the reason why the other one isn't working is because it does not have a DNS entry for ora_linux7_xen2. Can you post the configuration file that has the host entry for ora_linux7_xen2?

It should look similar to -

Code: Select all

define host {
        use                             linux-server
        host_name                       ora_linux7_xen2
        alias                           aliashere
        address                         iphere
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
}

Is this your full definition for the ora_linux7 host?

Code: Select all

## Default
define host{
use linux-box ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name ora_linux7_xen2.xyz.local ; The name we're giving to this server
alias Oracle Linux 7 ; A longer name for the server address 172.17.40.152 ; IP address of Remote Linux host

It seems you're missing a couple things. It should look like -

Code: Select all

## Default
define host{
use                             linux-box               ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name                       ora_linux7_xen2.xyz.local  ; The name we're giving to this server
alias                           Oracle Linux 7          ; A longer name for the server address
address                                  172.17.40.152           ; IP address of Remote Linux host
}

Make the change, restart the nagios service, and it should be working.

Yes, it's working now. Added address at the bottom lime with the IP address.

Glad to hear it is working now. Did you have any other questions, or may we lock this thread?
