Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

When we run a script on the remote machine (which is a Linux machine) we are getting expected output whereas when we invoke it from the nagios server it is giving different output.


[host1]#/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ce/cleanup_transaction_manager.sh
Cleanup is normal


[nagios root]#pwd
/opt/nagios/libexec
[nagios root]#./check_nrpe -H <host1> -c check_transaction_manager_cleanup
Clean up file has errors.


What could be the reason?

Checks automatically run by Nagios run as Nagios. Chances are you aren't running the check as nagios.

I am running as nagios user only.

nrpe_user=nagios

I tried as follows I am getting correct results.

sudo su - nagios -c /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ce/cleanup_transaction_manager.sh

Have you verifies the command on the remote host?
Can you run the command from the nagios host with nrpe, and on the remote hHAoSH0x7sab0ect as nagios and paste the command including the prompt and output?
