Nagios Support Forum

Hello ,

i have tried check_log3.pl but i am getting error :

This Nagios Plugin comes with absolutely NO WARRANTY. You may use




and also check_logfiles plugin and am getting error :

Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

But in in command line its working fine

Can you tell me where am i going wrong?

Your plugin may not be in the right folder, or you service/command definitions may have the wrong paths. Can you post a copy of the command definition and the service check definition?

Does the plugin have execute permissions?:

Hello,



command defined for check_log3 is
$USER$/check_log3 -l $HOSTNAME$ -l $ARG$ -s $ARG$ -p $ARG$ -w $ARG$ -c $ARG$

service definition
for $ARG$ /var/log/messages
for $ARG$/tmp/log/
for $ARG$"error"
for $ARG$ 1
for $ARG$ 2


command definition for check_logfiles is
$USER1$/check_logfiles -H localhost --logfile=$ARG1$ --criticalpattern=$ARG2$ --warningpattern=$ARG3$

service definition
for $ARG$ /var/log/messages
for $ARG$ error
for $ARG$ error

You are not using the "$USER1$" macro for pathing? You are using $USER$? I'd double check this, also, did you check what I asked?

$USER$/check_log3 -l $HOSTNAME$ -l $ARG$ -s $ARG$ -p $ARG$ -w $ARG$ -c $ARG$

Oops!

i tried it again with $USER1$ but still i am getting the same error for check_log3.pl



what about the check_logfiles plugin .where am i going wrong?

Something must be defined wrong here: Otherwise the plugin should not spit out usage information, it's trying to tell you that you are missing a flag or definition somewhere, are you sure you followed it's guidelines and included everything required? Are you able to run the command from the command line to that plugin and does it work?
