Strange NRPE issue
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 4:31 pm
Hello All,
I am experiencing a very strange issue with nrpe...
This issue has two dimensions.
First, I wrote a perl script to parse Ambient Temperature from a command line utility for Dell servers. The script would execute with out problems on the host, however running the check over nrpe produced strange output.
On the host I would get:
Temp OK 68 F
or
Temp WARNING 80 F
etc..
Running the check over nrpe only returned:
Temp OK F
And no matter what I did the value never showed up and nagios would think it was OK. Even if I purposely set the threshold very low and the check would return CRITICAL or WARNING on the localhost.
To attempt to solve this I re-wrote the script in bash. Now I have a similar problem....
Here is the script:
Running the script on the host returns the expected results:
/usr/local/bin/plugins32/ipmi_temp.sh 80 90
Temp OK 66 F
However running over nrpe from the nagios server:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H somehost.somewhere.com -c check_temp
Temp OK 57 F
I have no idea where its getting 57 F from, and no matter what the output on the host is I get "Temp OK 57 F"
I am running nagios/nrpe 2.12 on CentOS.
nrpe config:
command[check_temp]=/usr/local/bin/plugins32/ipmi_temp.sh 80 90
Thanks! Any help is appreciated!
