Service Check Command Error

Post by diddler »

Hi,
I am attempting to install the following Nagios Plugin.

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... pt/details

I followed the steps thoroughly but I am getting an error.

Error: Service check command 'check_3par_pd' specified in service 'Physical disks status' for host 'ieat3par-04' not defined anywhere!

Any ideas what is causing this?
Thanks!

What version of Nagios Core are you running?

Did you add the following to the commands.cfg file and restart nagios?

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name check_3par_pd
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_pd
}
define command{
command_name check_3par_node
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_node
}
define command{
command_name check_3par_ld
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_ld
}
define command{
command_name check_3par_vv
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_vv
}
define command{
command_name check_3par_cap_fc
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_cap_fc
}
define command{
command_name check_3par_cap_nl
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_cap_nl
}
define command{
command_name check_3par_port_fc
command_line $USER1$/check_3par $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ check_port_fc
}

Apologies I've just seen your response now.
Yes I have created commands.cfg exactly as was described in the guide.

Please post your entries from your /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg file so that we can review them.

# NOTES: This config file provides you with some example command definitions
#        that you can reference in host, service, and contact definitions.
#       
#        You don't need to keep commands in a separate file from your other
#        object definitions.  This has been done just to make things easier to
#        understand.

Looks proper, post the full output (in code tags) of this command:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
And post the relevant service config definition.

For good measure, post your nagios.cfg file as well.

In addition to what ssax has stated:

Did you copy those commands directly out of the PDF document? It's possible that there are hidden characters breaking the configuration. Take a look at your commands.cfg file in vim and ensure there aren't any hiding characters. You may want to type

Code: Select all

:set list
while in vim to take a deeper look.

I do not see /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg listed above. You will need to define the commands.cfg file in your nagios.cfg.

Code: Select all

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Add:

Code: Select all

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg
After adding the above setting, retry your nagios configuration check:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
