Nagios Support Forum

I have seen this on a few other posts and tried what was listed there.

When I run the plugin on the cli everything comes back good.

when I run it as a scheduled check in XI I just get a Status (null)


[nagios@nagios1 libexec]$ ./SRS_check_rhev3 -H rhevm.cloud2 -f .authfile -R rhhva.cloud2 -l cpu
RHEV OK: cpu ok - 4% used (rhhva.cloud2.srs.local) |cpu=4%;60;80;0; cpu.current.user=1;;;0; cpu.current.system=2;;;0; cpu.current.idle=96;;;0;

This is the check_rhev3 plugin from the exchange, downloaded from git_hub. the SRS prefix is just a rename of the file for standardizing local usage. the command works the same with or without the rename.

there is already this at the top

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# nagios: -epn

so it isn't trying to use the embedded perl.

Any thoughts?

Nagios XI 2012R1.3

Can you provide a direct link to the plugin?

Can you show us the command, and service definition for the check in question?

command def.

define command {
command_name SRS_check_rhev_cpu_cloud2
command_line $USER1$/SRS_check_rhev3 -H rhevm.cloud2 -f .authfile -R rhhva.cloud2 -l cpu
}

Where is this .authfile located? by default nagios sets the working directory as /home/nagios, so if it is in the libexec dir you might want to alter the flag to :

-f $USER1$/.authfile

edit: I should note that it might require a little escaping with the / in there, but hopefully not.

ah ha! That did it. Thanks!

Great! Closing as resolved.
