Nagios Support Forum

I just plugged in a shell script (placed it in check_commands.cfg for a group of servers) and put it in ~etc/services as well and set it for 24/7 and it does work fine but at the drop of midnight for consecutive days now, it just stops (i view the GUI and it just doesn't show the values anymore - it's a sar reading script thus shows each disk on the servers and their busy% every 5 mins) and also the script generates logs in the nagios server but also there it just show the last time it generated a log is 00:00 and then dead air and would come back to life at 10:00.

where is that configured? i've searched forums and all the *cfg files and every documentation and could not locate which gives that timeperiod to stop it from running the checks of that script?

help!

tnx in advance,
mervman

Can you post the service config, and any template configs that this service is using?

sure...

first, the group of hosts defined in ~etc/hostsgroups.cfg:


define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name Company-Mumu
alias Company Mumu cluster
members mumu5,mumu6,mumu7,mumu8
}

for the command specified ~etc/checkcommands.cfg:

define command {
command_name check_disk_sar
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk_sar.sh 100 100 3 nagios $HOSTADDRESS$
}

and that is obviously there in ~libexec and it works from 10am-12mn


for the ~etc/services - i placed it as check_disk_sar.cfg :

$ more check_disk_sar.cfg
