Is your event handler executable by the nagios user? I'd add debug output to the event handler that gets written to a file to make sure that it's actually running and getting the input you expect. For example, in all my event handlers written in sh, I have the following as the first thing done -- LOGFILE=/usr/local/nagios/var/eventhandler.log; export LOGFILE echo -n `date` . " " >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 echo "$0 IFP service check ($1) ($2) ($3) ($4)... " >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 And lines like the following at appropriate places -- echo -n `date` . " " >> $LOGFILE 2>/usr/local/nagios/var/eventhandler.log 2>&1 echo -n "$0 Restarting IFP service (2nd soft critical state) on $4... " >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 /usr/bin/ssh $4 'sudo /etc/init.d/n2h2-ifpserver restart' >>$LOGFILE 2>&1 This allows for intimate tracing of the execution of the event handler to catch any problems. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
