My nrpe.cfg on VMA host is this now
command[check_mem]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

After I changed the file I ran this
vi-admin@tgkw002:~> sudo service nrpe status
Checking for nrpe daemon... running
vi-admin@tgkw002:~> sudo service nrpe restart
Shutting down nrpe done
Starting nrpe done

Ran this on VMA host

vi-admin@tgkw002:~> sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh -w 80% -c 90%
vi-admin's password:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh: line 1: et: command not found
error: Not a number


Ran this on Nagios Host

NRPE: Unable to read output


What I am doing wrong here?

Please attach the exact check_mem.sh file so that I can review it.


Thank you

See attached

also I got it from here

https://exchange.nagios.org/components/ ... 4&cf_id=24


Update

This lead me to looking at the script I downloaded myself and found the first two lines where not correct.

I changed them on my Nagios server
restarted Nagios and now the localhost is working

next will be getting the remote hosts to work

two more to go.

What is the output of this command on your Pi:

Code: Select all

find /usr/ -name 'nrpe.cfg'

What happens when you execute the plugin on the vMA?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh

Let's troubleshoot one issue at a time, starting with the RaspberryPi box. Run the following commands, and show the output:

On the RaspberryPi:

Code: Select all

ip addr
ps axuw | grep nrpe
netstat -at | grep nrpe
grep only_from /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
grep 'allowed_hosts\|check_mem' /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh -w 80 -c 90
On Nagios server:

Code: Select all

ip addr
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <client ip>
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <client ip> -c check_mem -a 80 90

This output

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d
Shows that the nrpe is running as a daemon and that we are editing the wrong nrpe.cfg file.
Edit this file

Code: Select all

/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
and make sure the allowed_hosts setting has the nagios server's IP address and that the check_mem command is defined in the file.

Code: Select all

command[check_mem]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
Then restart the nrpe daemon and see if the test from the Nagios server works for you.

On the Raspberry Pi

I found two nrpe.cfg files they both contain the same values

root@raspberrypi:~# find / -name nrpe.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nrpe/mods/cfg/nrpe.cfg
/tmp/nrpe-3.0/sample-config/nrpe.cfg

both have Allowed Hosts 10.2.8.79 which is the Nagios servers ip address

both have this command defined
command[check_mem]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mem.sh -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

Puzzled on why this is not working
