Does your generic-host template specify a valid max_check_attempts value?

If you did, try changing your command definition like below to bypass ePN for this plugin, substituting /path/to/perl to the real path to perl on your system (usually /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl) -- # 'check_ldap' command definition define command { command_namecheck_ldap command_line/path/to/perl $USER1$/check_ldap -H $HOSTADDRESS$ } If that still doesn't work, try to see if the plugin has any output at all with the command below. /tmp/output will then contain full STDOUT and STDERR output from the plugin run -- # 'check_ldap' command definition define command { command_namecheck_ldap command_line$USER1$/check_ldap -H $HOSTADDRESS$ >/tmp/output 2>&1 } Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with how you're calling the plugin. -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] alert when new device is on network
I think you should take a look at NeDI, the Network Discovery tool. http://nedi.ch/ It's much more than a plugin, it's an application all its own. But it does network discovery, which is what you're looking for, and Nagios does not. Use the correct tool for the job.

[Nagios-users] Check_ldap issue
Greetings all, I am currently running Nagios 2.7 with plugins 1.4.6 on an OpenBSD 4.1system. I am successfully monitoring our environment on several different services, dns, http, mail (smtp and imap) and check_host_alive on all our servers. In shorter terms the system is working. My issue is this, I have downloaded the check_ldap.pl plugin from nagiosexchange, and placed it in my plugin directory (/usr/local/libexec/nagios) The permissions on this file are exactly the same as the other plugins in this directory. from the command prompt, I can: # ./check_ldap -H I receive an OK response. However when I create a service definition for this check: define service { use generic-service service_description LDAP host_name check_command check_ldap with the following command definition: # 'check_ldap' command definition define command { command_namecheck_ldap command_line$USER1$/check_ldap -H $HOSTADDRESS$ } and generic-service defined thusly: define service { namegeneric-service is_volatile 0 contact_groups eservices active_checks_enabled 1 check_periodalways normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval1 max_check_attempts 3 parallelize_check 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information1 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 120 notification_period always notification_optionsw,u,c,r register0 } I receive a (No Output!) status message in nagios. This would indicate I have something misconfigured, but I can not figure out where I'm having the problem. Has anyone else had this issue, or could you point me to the right spot in the documentation that would allow me to get this working?

[Nagios-users] Nagios performance and delayed checks
Hi folks, I'm having some performance issues with a rather big Nagios 2.4 deployment (430 servers, 3000 service checks) . I'm having now a 600-900 secs avg latency for checks - checks distribution is more or less like this : 450 check_icmp (scheduled every minute) 500 check_ifoperstatus (scheduled very 5 minutes) 800 check_nt (scheduled every 5-10 minutes) 200 check_http (scheduled every 5 minutes) 1000 check_by_ssh (scheduled every 5-10 minutes) 1730 Performance graphs generated by PNP I've already applied some performance tips specified in the nagios faq (aggregated status updates, max_concurrent_checks=0, checked hardware config, etc) Since load average for this server is always below 1, is there any way to force more concurrent checks per second? (btw, I've replicated the same config in a similar server with a Nagios 2.9 setup and ended with similar results as well) Thanks in advance :-) --- Output of nagiostat: Active Service Latency: 590.886 / 671.695 / 635.054 % Active Service Execution Time:0.124 / 19.130 / 0.483 sec Active Service State Change: 0.000 / 49.930 / 0.238 % Active Services Last 1/5/15/60 min: 61 / 673 / 2150 / 2929 Output of nagios -s nagios.cfg : HOST SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total hosts: 424 Total scheduled hosts: 0 Host inter-check delay method: SMART Average host check interval: 0.00 sec Host inter-check delay: 0.00 sec Max host check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: N/A Last scheduled check:N/A SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total services: 2929 Total scheduled services: 2929 Service inter-check delay method: SMART Average service check interval: 433.36 sec Inter-check delay: 0.15 sec Interleave factor method: SMART Average services per host: 6.91 Service interleave factor: 7 Max service check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: Thu Sep 6 11:18:31 2007 Last scheduled check: Thu Sep 6 11:25:45 2007 -- Windows macht frei! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] web interface to add hosts and services...
There are several, Take a look at nagios exchange to see which web front ends are available. Im currently installing MonArch which I hope will satisfy my needs. I Must admit though that I do prefer to edit the files manually as it gives you a better feel for how Nagios all hangs together .

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed config admin tool?
The part of my post that was snipped out showed how to use a single host and service definition but put in place *only* a different template for the central and distributed Nagios instances. The ease of distribution comes for free at that point, and nothing is used here beyond the basic built-in features of Nagios. How you distribute it from there is up to you, I just happen to use cfengine.
