Hi, I am using Nagios 3 on CentOS 5. I am not understanding how to set up a service check for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).
I can run the check_sip perl script from the command line and get a valid response, but cannot get it to work under nagios. [EMAIL PROTECTED] libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sip -u sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -f sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -H server.hostname.com SIP/2.0 200 OK, 0.017372 seconds response time|rtt=0.017372s;0.5s;1s;0:10; code=200 I have added in a command definition in commands.cfg: #'check_sip' command definition added by RJM define command{ command_name check_sip command_line check_sip -u sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -f sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -H server.hostname.com } I have a host and service definition also of: define host{ use generic-switch ; Inherit default values from a template host_name server.hostname.com ; The name we're giving to this switch alias server ; A longer name associated with the wtch address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ; IP address of the switch hostgroups core ; Host groups this switch is associated with } define service{ use core-template host_name server.hostname.com service_description SIP test check_command check_sip # contact_groups voip-admins max_check_attempts 4 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 notification_interval 240 check_period 24x7 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r } I run the configuration check utility and it returns no errors, I restart nagios, and the host always appears down. I see some of the other command definitions have something like command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ but I have no idea what the variables are in this line and what relevance they have.... Can someone explain if I need to have these variables and what they actually mean? I believed that if I can run it from the command line, then I should just be able to use the same command in the command definition, or does it not work like that?
