Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I managed to get check_vnxe.sh to work at the nagios server command line but it displays an unknown status in XI.

can you run it as the nagios user? If so, we would likely need to see the script, but you would want to make sure you have full paths to all executables inside if the script.

Hi Scott,

That command works at the command line also. However, I get this output in XI:

please attach check_vnxe.sh (zip first)

Please see attached.

I need to ask, does the username/password you are passing have any non-alphanumeric chars that can be interpreted when Nagios is passing arguments to the script?

Boy I thought I was having dejavu ... There is another post from a few weeks back with literally the same script

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=48934

I do notice in your script there is some info in the help

Code: Select all

Security warning: It is STRONGLY recommended that a read only user be created in VNXe and used with this script. The script will work with admin login but this is highly insecure!

Note: This plugin requires sudo access to run, at least under Nagios on Ubuntu. You will need to add a line to your sudoers file that looks something like this - 
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vnxe.sh

Be sure to only allow this script to run under sudo without password. You will also need to define the check command in Nagios to execute with sudo

Additionally, you must set the verification level to low by running /opt/emc/uemcli-1.5.4.1.0027/bin/setlevel.sh l as a root user or this plugin will fail.

Please send all comments/feedback to the author, Charles Bender, at [email protected]"

So did you add the entry to sudoers?

Hi Scott,

The password includes an exclamation point.

I removed the exclamation point from the password. Now I get this output in XI:

BTW, I don't have a /etc/sudoers file. I do have a etc/sudoers.d directory.
