Fairly busy at the moment, but getting check_radius to work is a bit tedious. This plugin actually checks to see if it gets a valid response from the radius daemon against an actual user, not just if the port is open. So, you've got to setup the clients and users files correctly on the radius server. You've also got to install a radius client on the nagios server and configure its conf file as well. The actual check command looks something like:
define command { command_name check_radius command_line $USER1$/check_radius -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -F /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf -u <valid user in users file> -p <password> -P 1812 } James Moseley Jason Frisvold <frisv...@lafayet te.edu> To nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 03/04/2009 09:09 cc AM Subject [Nagios-users] radius checks -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm at wits end here trying to figure out how to monitor radius with nagios. I have tried multiple plugins, but all to no avail. I tried the check_radius plugin that ships with nagios-plugins, but I kept getting "Auth failed" and no packets were ever sent to my radius server. I tried radauth from NagiosExchange (both the original and the updated radauth.c) and they failed with error in radius about malformed packets. I moved on to radius_check_adv and radius_check_ih, both from NagiosExchange, and they both fail with errors about the secrets not being correct, though I have checked them multiple times and even tried configuring them as testing123 and test and nagios and more. radtest (from freeradius) can authenticate with no problem using the same secrets. What am I missing? Is there some super-secret config switch I need to set or something?
