Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

Can anyone help me with my error?. i'm using check_sqljob.sh plugins but it's returning status of unknown in nagios, however ,when i manually run the checks it return a normal information.

below is the sample output when running manually

<a href=/nagios/sqllog/xx.xx.xx.xx-2015-02-25.html target=main> CRITICAL: Number of Jobs Failed:4|count=4</a>

Please post the output of the following:

Hi,

here is the output below.

ls: check_sqljob: No such file or directory

and here the commands when i add .sh
ls -l check_sqljob.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 1748 Feb 25 13:16 check_sqljob.sh

Can you please post your service definition and the command definition.

Please also show us the command you are executing at the command line to test it along with the output.

Hi


define service{
use generic-service
host_name POSX_DB
service_description SQL_Jobs
check_command check_sqljob!<server IP>!<username>!<password>

}


define command{
command_name check_sqljob
command_line $USER1$/check_sqljob.sh -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
}

Does your Nagios user have rights to execute your java binary? You might want to `su nagios` and try to run the command logged in with that user.

Hi jdalrymple,

your right the status is

UNKNOWN:

when i run it in nagios user , how can i make my nagios user run java? or can i make the checks to run on root user?

run this as root and then run it as nagios and post the output from both:

Please see result below.

[root@pwnagios ~]# which java
/usr/bin/java

[nagios@pwnagios root]$ which java
/usr/bin/java

Please post the output of I suspect it will be owned by root:root or root:wheel and that the binary is not world executable. If that's the case the proper way to fix the problem would be to create an appropriate group and put the nagios user in it, or just put the nagios user in the java group if it already exists. Run that command, post the output and we'll figure it out for you.

Does this server do anything besides host Nagios?
