I perused the link http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html and tried out a number of time but the script to be execute by the event handler never gets executed.. :( In the nagios log, I see the Event Handler being invoked fine and nothing else happens. Any ideas/ suggestions ? Is your event handler executable by the nagios user? I'd add debug output to the event handler that gets written to a file to make sure that it's actually running and getting the input you expect. For example, in all my event handlers written in sh, I have the following as the first thing done -- LOGFILE=/usr/local/nagios/var/eventhandler.log; export LOGFILE echo -n `date` .$LOGFILE 21 echo $0 IFP service check ($1) ($2) ($3) ($4)... $LOGFILE 21 And lines like the following at appropriate places -- echo -n `date` .$LOGFILE 2/usr/local/nagios/var/eventhandler.log 21 echo -n $0 Restarting IFP service (2nd soft critical state) on $4... $LOGFILE 21 /usr/bin/ssh $4 'sudo /etc/init.d/n2h2-ifpserver restart' $LOGFILE 21 This allows for intimate tracing of the execution of the event handler to catch any problems. -- Marc - Take Surveys.

I believe you can change the log file by adding 'nrpe.* /some/other/file' to syslog.conf and HUP or restart syslogd. Nopes. This won't work as nrpe isn't recognized as a valid syslog facility. NRPE uses the daemon facility to log all its messages. With a line reading daemon.* /var/log/daemon.log you will get all messages sent to the daemon facility in /var/log/daemon.log. Note that this will include messages from other daemons as well, but nrpe sets its ident (or TAG, according to rfc3164) to NRPE, so you can easily grep the logfile for that string and find only the relevant entries. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. I had already enabled logging of service retries, host retries, and event handler commands. In fact, I discovered that Nagios is invoking the Event Handler but the problem appears to be in the remote host: [1160997995] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;PRD7_WCMAUT01;CheckAutonomyServer;1160997969 [1160998115] SERVICE ALERT: PRD7_WCMAUT01;CheckAutonomyServer;CRITICAL;SOFT;4;CRITICAL: NOK, The service apax is not running.
