Yum Plugin With NCPA
Posted: Wed May 26, 2021 10:46 am
Good morning.
Using the Linux Server Wizard, I created a series of monitors for a new RHEL server using the NCPA agent. However, the new NCPA wizard does not create a yum monitor to see to O/S is up to date. I created a bash script as a plugin in the /usr/local/ncpa/plugins directory. NRPE uses a perl script which I referred to when creating my bash script. Apparently, my script runs and gives the proper exit code and status, but in Nagios there's an error message indicating a permissions issue:
Also, here is my bash script:
Kindly advise how to properly resolve the issue.
Thank you and best regards,
Steve
