Nagios Support Forum

I just rebuilt my Nagios XI server and have re-entered all my devices. On all my network devices, for every interface that I'm monitoring the status check is failing. The error message states the following:

(No output on stdout) stderr: execvp (usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifoperstatnag_by_variable, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory

I checked the folder and confirmed there is not a "check_ifoperstatnag_by_variable" script, but there is a 'check_ifoperstatnag' script. Where can I download this script?

Hey @sawdusty,

I am not aware of a `check_ifoperstatnag_by_variable` script - if you use the `check_ifoperstatnag` script, do you get the expected output? Is this script available in your previous Nagios XI server, and if so would you be able to move it into the new server?

Hi @sawdusty, thanks for reaching out.

The plugin check_if_operstatnag_by_variable is a part of the Switch Wizard. You can copy it to libexec, as follows. You may need to adjust the file ownership and permissions. I am checking into why it is not getting installed into libexec by default.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/switch/plugins/check_if_operstatnag_by_variable .

You may need to adjust the file ownership and permissions.

Code: Select all

chown apache:nagios check_if_operstatnag_by_variable
chmod 775 check_if_operstatnag_by_variable

I am checking into why it is not getting installed into libexec by default.

Thanks, this worked. Slight change to file ownership, my user was www-data versus apache.

Hi @sawdusty,

Thanks for letting us know what worked for you!
