Hi together,

I'm having issues getting a check_file_age check working using nrpe.

/etc/nagios/nrpe.conf

command[check_file_age]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -w 60 -c 300 -f /resources/file

When I run the below command on my machine I get a `NRPE: Unable to read output` error

Code: Select all

[root@localhost]#/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_file_age

If I don't use check_nrpe and instead run the plugin directly it works fine:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost]#/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -w 60 -c 300 -f /resources/file
FILE_AGE CRITICAL: /resources/file is 7533 seconds old and 3 bytes  | age=7533s;60;300 size=3B;0;0;0

Anyone able to point me into the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

What are the permissions here

Code: Select all

ls -l /resources/file
ls -l /resources

Permissions were all fine. I got it working by disabling selinux.

Thanks!
