check_graph_ping

[chammond]

I have Oreon 1.2.2 installed and am unable to get check_graph_ping to work except from the command line. If I su to nagios and run ./check_graph_ping -H 172.18.100.1 -n 2 -g -S 2 it works and creates the rrd file. However from the Oreon, the service that I created reports back "no output". I used Babelfish to view the French forums and found a couple of things to look at but nothing that helped solve the issue. Any ideas?

you must change the check command:
$USER1$/check_graph_ping.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 200,20% -c 500,40% -g -S $ARG1$

after that, it's good (so I think ) :lol:

Re: check_graph_ping

command_line $USER1$/check_graph_ping.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 200,20% -c 500,40% -n $ARG1$ -g -S $ARG2$

check_command check_graph_ping!2!2

you don't need to specify $ARG2$, oreon do it for you

It is still not working. Here is the information, let me know what I have done wrong. I am

it seems correct (for me)

if plugin output (no ouput)... there is something wrong with plugin code.

with user nagios, launch plugin with full path :
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_graph_ping.pl .......

Do you have generate your 'oreon.conf' in 'Options > Plugins' ?

check_graph_ping

[[email protected] /]# su nagios
sh-3.00$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_graph_ping.pl -H 172.18.100.1 -g -S 2
GPING OK - rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.226/0.226/0.226/0.000 ms, pipe 2

The rrd is properly updated as well.

As for the oreon.conf, yes. I had and just did it again to make sure.

Things that make you go, hmmmmmmmmm......

Thanks for the assistance

check_graph_ping

Is there any way to make nagios log "everything" including the command to run the plugin and the output of the plugin in the nagios log? I am looking but don't see anything though like always I could have overlooked it.

I have been accused of being sharp as a beack ball. :?

check_graph_ping

Ok, I have tried 2 other check_graph plugins and they all report the same "no output". The last one was the check_graph_traffic and I used the info in a post from one of the Oreon team that worked for the other person but I get "no output". So I don't think it is Oreon, the plugin or Nagios but more likely some supporting app is the problem. Would any of the supporting apps being broken cause the plugin to fail when Nagios calls it but not when run by hand?

Thanks
Chris

BTW, here is the information that is in the status.log

- rename check_graph_ping.pl into check_graph_ping.pl.old
- create a new check_graph_ping
- add this lines into the new check_graph_ping

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_graph_ping.pl.old $* > /usr/local/nagios/libexec/debug.log 2>&1

[chammond]

Debug info

Ok, this is from the check_graph_traffic.pl which is the last one I setup. After renaming the original plugin and creating the new one, Nagios no longer claims it is critical. It now says that it is okay but it still reports no output. Below is the info reported in the debug.log.

Traffic: 1022.94 B/s (0.0%) in, 2.50 kB/s (0.0%) out - Total RX Bytes: 8.73 MB, Total TX
Bytes: 12.78 MB

Oh, the rrd is being created and populated.

Check_graph plugins

Dag gonnit!! Now it shows unknown and the graph has stopped receiving data. :?

[wistof]

:? :? :? that's wrong with your installation.....

[chammond]

Check_graph plugins

Me!!!!! I just realized I made a change to rights and screwed it up. It is now working again with the exception of the status information for the service reporting no output. The heart of things appear to be working.

Check_Graph_Traffic OK 2005/09/19 12:27:25 12 m, 20 s 1/3 (No output!)

Thanks
