Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am trying to get file age with check_file_age plugin.

When I ran check_file_age command getting correct output, I used following command:
Output:
FILE_AGE CRITICAL: /tmp/test is 1673 seconds old and 10 bytes

I added same above command in nrpe_local.cfg & following is line in my nrpe_local.cfg After adding above command I restarted nrpe daemon with command "service nagios-nrpe-server restart"

Now If I run above command using check_nrpe, the output is "NRPE: Unable to read output"

I used following command: Output:
NRPE: Unable to read output

From past 2 days I am trying to debug this issue, but unable to get any clue.
Someone please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Sandeep.

Sandeep,
Lets first make sure that you can communicate through nrpe: If that works, then lets try to run the plugin as user "nagios": Could you post a copy of the remote host's nrpe.cfg that you are working with?

This issue is due to file permissions of user.

For my user home directory file permissions are set to 700, I changed it to 755 with chmod.

After changing file permissions its working without any issue.

Great to hear. Can this topic be closed now?
