In a similar situation, I found it helpful to break my command line
tests into steps. First ssh directly into the remote as nagios and
execute the disk check, as you seem to have done. Then
sudo -u nagios ssh -i /var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /"
to make sure the key is working and the args and path are correct. Then
sudo -u nagios /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H linoleum -i
/var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /"
If that works, the regular nagios process should work. I once had a
sticky problem where I could get the above working, but nagios kept
telling me unknown. It turned out I had a subtle little typo in my
config that made it different from my command line tests. Headache!
HTH,
Dave
Here are my defs
define command{
command_name check_slash_free
command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -i
/var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C '$USER1$/check_disk
-w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -e -p \/ -m '
}
and the service
define service {
host_name <hostname>
service_description check slash
check_command check_slash_free!30%!20%
max_check_attempts 3
retry_check_interval 1
normal_check_interval 5
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r,f
