stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping, ...) fa

[al_orange]

I'm receiving this error in nagios (the gui), in Currents Status --> Hosts:

stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory

[Box293]

Is this in the status information column of all hosts or just one host?

A screenshot might help.

Can you please post:

• One of these host definitions
  If they use a template, the template definition
  The command definition used by the host or the template

I'm sorry, I can't find my host definitions. Where do I find this again? In the Nagios host or Nagios server? What is the usual path?

Usually it's in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/ directory or a sub directory stemming from that one. Where did you create the file for the host 'ora_linux7_xxxxxxxxxx'?

Did you install the plugins when you installed core?

Can you post the result of the following command?

Code: Select all

ls /usr/local/nagios/libexec

I'm not sure what you mean by where did I create the file. It's on another VM, on a different IP address.

Yes, I think I installed the plugins, but it's been a couple weeks, I don't quite remember.

For the command (on the nagios server), I got:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios etc]# ls /usr/local/nagios/libexec
check_nrpe  eventhandlers

That command didn't find anything on the host.

Looks like you need to install Nagios plugins on the host server. This should work to install them -

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget http://www.nagios-plugins.org/download/nagios-plugins-2.1.1.tar.gz
tar xvf nagios-plugins-2.1.1.tar.gz
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios 
make 
make install 

Let us know if you run into any issues.

Looks like I already ran into an issue for the host:

Code: Select all

[root@XEN1 tmp]# ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

You need to change into the nagoios-plugins directory after you untar it.
