Sometimes Nagios XI returns this error in some disks checks "is not accessible: No such file or directory". But it's not all the time.

[root@VIBORG ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -V
check_disk v2.2.1 (nagios-plugins 2.2.1)

[root@VIBORG ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -2
NRPE v3.2.1

some more files.

Hi Paulol,

It looks there are some extra characters being added into the path for the check command and as a result in cannot find the path. It could be related to the arguments being passed by XI or the database encoding. That said, it's odd that this is not happening all of the time.

Can you repeat this error running the command directly from the command line?

Also, please send me your system profile and I'll review the log files for any errors.

Hi @paulol,

Since you have offloaded the database, the log file was not included in the system profile. Can your retrieve that file from the serer and post it to the thread.

That said, the configurations look correct and the output from the test command is ok, are you able to repeat the error on your system? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Benjamin

it's not possible to reproduce that error in command line, because is not all the time that it happen.

Hi,

Thank you for the database log. I do see a number of aborted connections in the database log. This can be related a wide variety of issues such as network hardware, network connections or timeouts. Please try setting the following value in my.cnf to increase the max_allowed_packet option to the following: Next, If you're not using $ARG3$ thru $ARG7$, I would just remove them from the command in the CCM to rule out any possibility that additional data is being passed by those macros.
Additionally, hard coding the check options in the nrpe.cfg on the remote host (e.g.viborg) would help determine if this is a Nagios XI issue or NRPE.
For example: Let me know if you notice any improvement.

You are right. It's something in nrpe client installed on my server like VIBORG(server). I did what you suggested putting a second command with no arguments in NRPE Client.

Hi @paulol,

Thanks for testing that out. Please try to remove the -2, for version 2 packets, in the check command with this issue and test again.

Additionally, let's enable debug logging on nrpe. In the nrpe.cfg file, change the following option. This is going to write additional messages to syslog. After making the change, restart NRPE then check syslog (var/log/messages) for errors and post them to the thread.

Regards,
Benjamin

Hi benjaminsmith,

I've removed the -2 in the check command, but notting happened. But when i removed all the arguments in the check command the services works perfetly.
