Hi,

I am new to the Nagios tool. Having Nagios core(v4.4.3) along with NRPE(v3.4.1).

I would like to monitor the check_disk plugin of host machine in the Nagios server, but it is giving error. Below is the configuration added in the host-file.

Code: Select all

define service {
      host_name                       system005
      service_description             Check Disk
      check_command                   check_disk
      max_check_attempts              2
      check_interval                  2
      retry_interval                  2
      check_period                    24x7
      check_freshness                 1
      notification_interval           2
      notification_period             24x7
      notifications_enabled           1
      register                        1
}

After adding the configuration, i am restarting the nagios server. It is throwing an error as

Code: Select all

user01@server001:/usr/local/nagios/etc$ sudo service nagios restart
Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nagios.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can you please execute the following command on the Nagios server:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -vvv /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

What output does it generate?
