Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

We have confiugured MS SQL wizards succesfully and were sucessful in monitoring couple of parameters. However, this morning we got an alert saying that the services were now critical and the status info is shown as null. I tried to test the plugin from the commdn line and executed the command ./check_mssql_server.py -h and get the below message.

import: unable to open X server `' @ import.c/ImportImageCommand/359.
./check_mssql_server.py: line 20: from: command not found
./check_mssql_server.py: line 27: requiredArgs: command not found
./check_mssql_server.py: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./check_mssql_server.py: line 28: ` ( '-H' , 'hostname' , 'Specify MSSQL Server Address' , False ),'

I have checked the pre-requisites, they look fine. Re-installed the wizards and it is still the same.

Can you post the output of:

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/check_mssql_server.py | head

Also can you sucessfully instantiate a python instance? Can you run the following and return the output:

python -v
python -V

Hi,

are you sure its etc/check_mssql_server.py? out put for that command is "No such file or directory" .

If i replace etc with libexec the the output is

#!/usr/bin/env python

output of python -v is output for python -V is 2.6.6

Is this an Issue with the plug-in or python??

I would guess python, but I've never seen this before...

Can you run it like this Also, can we confirm the file size to make sure something hasn't happened to the plugin
