execute check_logfiles

[gselvakumar]

While trying to execute check_logfiles in command line we get the following error ,

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles-2.3.1.2/plugins-scripts/check_logfiles --logfile=/tmp/messages  --criticalpattern='FAIL|CRITICAL'
Can't use string ("0") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles-2.3.1.2/plugins-scripts/check_logfiles line 1568. 

Could you please advise of the issue. Thank you.

Perhaps it's worth updating to a newer version? I just tested this on my end and it worked without issues. I'm using 3.7.4.2 though.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# wget https://labs.consol.de/assets/downloads/nagios/check_logfiles-3.7.4.2.tar.gz
[root@localhost libexec]# tar zxf check_logfiles-3.7.4.2.tar.gz
[root@localhost libexec]# cd check_logfiles-3.7.4.2
[root@localhost check_logfiles-3.7.4.2]# ./configure
[root@localhost check_logfiles-3.7.4.2]# ./make
[root@localhost check_logfiles-3.7.4.2]# ./make install
[root@localhost check_logfiles-3.7.4.2]# cd plugins-scripts/
[root@localhost plugins-scripts]# ./check_logfiles --logfile=/var/log/messages --criticalpattern='FAIL|CRITICAL'
OK - no errors or warnings|default_lines=0 default_warnings=0 default_criticals=0 default_unknowns=0
[root@localhost plugins-scripts]# ./check_logfiles --logfile=/tmp/messages --criticalpattern='FAIL|CRITICAL'

Could you try this, and let us know if that works for you?

Hi rkennedy,

Thank you so much for the update. The new version of plugin works. We are able to see the required output.
