Hi folks, I'm using nrpe 1.9 on FreeBSD 6.x and I'm failing to get a remote script to work. It seems that no perl script works, but I can get compiled plug-ins to work.
The result is, which invoked on the nagios server is: $ ./check_nrpe -H app09 -c check_raid_dell NRPE: Unable to read output On the remote machine, app09, I get: $ perl check_raid_dell RAID_DELL CRITICAL: RAID is critical. $ I know that a value is being returned: $ echo $? 2 $ It's as if the remote script is inappropriate for use with nrpe. I can get other scripts to work: $ ./check_nrpe -H app09 -c check_users USERS OK - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;5;10;0 $ ./check_nrpe -H app09 -c check_load OK - load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.06|load1=0.003;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.046;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.061;5.000;20.000;0; FWIW, both of the above scripts are binaries: $ file check_load check_users check_raid_dell check_load: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped check_users: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped check_raid_dell: perl script text I have confirmed that the user that nrpe is running as can execute the command: # su -m -c nagios nagios -c "cd /usr/local/libexec/nagios && perl check_raid_dell" RAID_DELL CRITICAL: RAID is critical.
