Nagios Support Forum

Hi ,

I am unable to configure check_snmp_printer in my nagios server running Nagios® Core™ 4.0.8. i am running CentOS release 6.6 (Final).

While executing manually command ./check_snmp_printer -H x.x.x.x -C public -x STATUS -w 20 -c 10. i am getting the result. but not through printer.cfg
.

below is the entry of command.cfg file.

define command{
command_name check_printers
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -x $ARG2 -w $ARG3$ -c
}

and here goes the printer.cfg file entry.

define service{
use generic-service
host_name My Printer
service_description Model
check_command check_snmp_printer!public!"MODEL"
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 1
}

getting error

Error: Service check command 'check_snmp_printer!public!"MODEL"' specified in service 'MODEL' for host 'MY Printer' not defined anywhere!

Please help on this.

First thing is that your command line test is for STATUS yet you are trying to define a MODEL check in your service.

Also, both STATUS and MODEL check do not require a warning and critical argument so I would define the command slightly different.

This is missing the trailing $ sign for $ARG2$ and completely missing $ARG4$ (I think it was a copy and paste error):

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name check_printers

}

I would define it as follows: You're not referencing the correct command_name in your service, it should be: Here is the STATUS check:
Finally, if you later need to use a check that has warning and critical, put it all in $ARG3$, like: Does this help?

Thanks buddy,

I run the same command.

but now getting error

(No output on stdout) stderr: execvp(/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_printer, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory

Below is the status of Service

define service{
use generic-service
host_name MY Printer
service_description Model
check_command check_printers!public!"MODEL"
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 1
}

define command{
command_name check_printers
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -x $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}

What happens when you test this at the command line?
Is /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ where the check_snmp_printer plugin is located?

Thanks Box293,

i rechecked check_snmp_printer plugin location and fixed the issue.
