I installed Lynx (As root).

But when running

Code: Select all

./check_apacherequests.pl -w 2 -c 3

and still got the same error (Just without the lynx bit)

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_apacherequests.pl -w 2 -c 3
sh: /usr/bin/lynx: No such file or directory
Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at ./check_apacherequests.pl line 76.
OK -  current apache requests | 'apache requests'=;2;3
[root@localhost libexec]#

[A.Cormack]

If i do

Code: Select all

./check_apacherequests.pl -w >2 -c >3

Then I get no output at all, is that right?

[slansing]

No, you should be getting the output you did two posts ago minus the no lynx error, and the issue within the script. Lmiltchev got the same error when he tested it and I will be testing it tomorrow to see what I get, methinks the plugin could be out dated and is not formatted correctly for current packages.

[A.Cormack]

Ah really?... I hope not. Otherwise I have a feeling it will be for the other two plug-ins I've picked, which means a complete re-write of my project research methodology.

[scottwilkerson]

can you run the following and post the results

Code: Select all

which lynx

[A.Cormack]

Output is:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/lynx

[slansing]

Can you also run the following:

Code: Select all

ll /usr/bin/lynx

Once again it is possible the plugin is no longer functioning due to being outdated, as you do get output but errors along with it.

Once again it is possible the plugin is no longer functioning due to being outdated, as you do get output but errors along with it.

Just to add to what slansing said - you can ask the developer of this plugin a question about the error that you are getting:

Code: Select all

Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at ./check_apacherequests.pl line 76.

by posting on the Nagios Exchange:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... st/details

[A.Cormack]

Code: Select all

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1334956 Aug 25     2012 /usr/bin/lynx

I was under the impression that the author no longer supports the application, which is why I sadly agree that the plug-in is no longer supported by Nagios. But I will take your advise and go post on the exchange now.

Once again, thanks for your help, great as always.

[lmiltchev]

We always try to help, even when dealing with "non-official" (3rd party) plugins, however we cannot guarantee that these plugins will work well with nagios.
Posting on the Nagios Exchange could be helpful - even if the developer of this plugin doesn't answer your question, someone else, who uses the same plugin, and has faced the same issue might.
