Nagios Support Forum

hi,

my nagiosxi monitoring server version: nagiosxi 2012 VM
monitored server: cenots 5.7

I am trying to add a plugin called "check_md_raid" from http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ms/details
With no much info about configuration, all its given to run the plugin from root. and when i execute it from command line in host..it gives output.

Adding the plugin in nagiosxi and performing check command doesn't gives any output.
the steps i followed are:
I uploaded the plugin , chown nagios: check_md_raid
i added NAGIOSXI (ALL)=ALL NOPASSWD:/path/to/check_md_raid in my /etc/sudoers file on nagios monitoring server VM.

added :
command Name: check_md_raid
command line: /usr/bin/sudo $USER1$/check_md_raid -H $HOSTADDRESS$
command type: check_command

applied the config.

on services management, added new and selected the check command as check_md_raid. when check the test command check.. the output displayed blank..

This plugin required to be executed via root. and i followed the steps.. let me know what i was doing wrong.

awaiting your response. highly in need to monitor raid check.

thanks.

Can you show us how you have the command defined that runs the plugin including the warning and critical values, in essence..how Nagios runs it through the CLI? Example:

Thanks for reply.

I already given in my 1st post the command i followed..
attached is the screenshot. let me know what need to be changed..
I found another post for this plugin which is for nagios.
link: http://www.cyberz.org/blog/2009/01/03/n ... ad-output/

I don't have idea why check test command wont gives any output. and when force saving the service configuration, the configuration get failed.

I have got a mail in my nagiosxi monitoring server VM in /var/spool/mail/root
screenshot below:

I downloaded another plugin called check_linux_raid.pl from nagios plugin http://www.nagios.org/download/plugins

plugin: I am in lack of knowledge on configuring this custom plugin in nagiosxi.

Is it necessary to upload the plugin in both monitored host and nagiosxi monitoring server?

if i have to check it with check_nrpe, what will be the command definition that i need to put on in nagiosXI -> command.


Awaiting response,
john.

i found the workaround.

i need to add command definition in nrpe.cfg file in remote host. plugin works.
