This is quite strange that you are seeing
Return code of 127 is out of bounds. Check if plugin exists for this host
Please post the output of the following
Code: Select all
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg
and attached the var/objects.cache from the nagios directory

Here is the output:
Code: Select all
# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec
# Sets $USER2$ to be the path to event handlers
#$USER2$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers
# Store some usernames and passwords (hidden from the CGIs)
#$USER3$=someuser
#$USER4$=somepassword
and i have attached the objects.cache file, it would not let me attach it at first as the site said it was unable to add file with a .cache extension, so i have renamed it objects.cfg so that i could attach it to this post. you should be able to just rename it back.

head -1 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py
which python

Here you go...
Code: Select all
admin-it@GC-NAGIOS:~$ head -1 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
admin-it@GC-NAGIOS:~$ which python
admin-it@GC-NAGIOS:~$

This looks like python is not installed. What OS are you using?

Ubuntu
Yeah i wasn't sure if it was by looking at that, i installed Nagios following the quick guides, i had a quick google and didn't find a guide to install with Nagios so i assumed that python was installed as part the Nagios install originally.
Do i need to install Python separately?

Python isn't part of Nagios, but is installed on most Linux systems, but you don't seem to have it.
you should be able to install with something like
