hi Admin,
I need to know the solution for the post on the issue the member(ganeshanrs1983) had for creating hostinfo.txt file on localhost on executing a eventhandler. Please help me ASAP.

Please post the output of this command:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/cevent_handler_test.sh

Please go to Configure > Core Config Manager
- Click on services and click the blue disk icon next to the service with the event handler on it.
- Click on commands and click the blue disk icon next to the command for the event handler.

Please post all of that information so that we can take a look at it.

Thank you

and here is my event_handler_test.sh content

#!/bin/bash
HOSTNAME=$1
HOSTSTATE=$2
HOSTSTATETYPE=$3
HOSTOUTPUT=$4
DATE=$(date) #sets the DATE variable to the output of the 'date' command
echo "The host $HOSTNAME has changed to a $HOSTSTATETYPE $HOSTSTATE state at $DATE with the error:
$HOSTOUTPUT" > ~/test/hostinfo.txt

Posted: **Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:19 pm**

Please go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Commands
- Edit your event_handler_test command and remove the " from the beginning of the command, save, and apply configuration.

Nice to see that you were able to fix it! I will now close this out, but feel free to open another thread if you need more assistance.
