[Nagios-users] question about check_by_ssh
My nagiox box uses check_by_ssh to run a remote check_log script on a box, I have a tricky situation where I need to generate the log right before check_log is invoked. This is the setup I have done: On my local Nagios box, created a dummy shell script to invoke check_by_ssh twice, one to run the remote script to generate the log, and another to run check_log to check that log. In my Nagios check commands, I call the dummy script, it first generates the log, waits 10 seconds and runs the check_log, both return: nag...@van-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_test OK - check_by_ssh: Remote command '/home/nagios/plugins/check_appsrv' returned status 0 OK - no errors or warnings|app_production_lines=3 app_production_warnings=0 app_production_criticals=0 app_production_unknowns=0 Will there be issues with Nagios when a check script returns two status? First check will almost always return an OK, it's the 2nd run that I care about.

Re: [Nagios-users] question about check_by_ssh
A check *cannot* return two status codes; it's just not possible. Nagios will only respect the status code returned by your check plugin, and there will only be one of those. If that plugin happens to run multiple scripts that return other codes, that's irrelevant; the only result code that matters is the one returned by your plugin. In this case, after you run check_test, you can try echo $?. That will return value of the single result code that will be passed to Nagios. Whether that's correct or not depends on how your plugin was written.

Re: [Nagios-users] question about check_by_ssh
Actually, if nagios command definition is calling the dummy script, it won't receive 2 statuses, but only one. Btw, you could pass more commands to a single check_by_ssh, removing the dummy.
