Re: [Nagios-users] 0 bytes pin using check_ping

Why do you need to make a 0 byte ping? (I'm not particularly up on networking, but a 0 byte ping would in theory send nothing, right?) Tried doing this on my Fedora system, and you still get a minimum of 8 bytes back: /bin/ping -s 0 www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (216.239.59.99) 0(28)

Re: [Nagios-users] 0 bytes pin using check_ping

Yep I see your problem. One thing you could try, *note* I've not tried this so it may or may not be efficient, when you compile the Nagios plugins, add the following directive to ./configure: --with-ping-command=/bin/ping -s 0 -n -U -w %d -c %d %s (ie. add the -s 0 parameter to the ping

[Nagios-users] ftp plugin

I couldn't find an ftp plugin that went as far as logging in, changing directories, and grabbing a file--so I wrote one. Does anyone want it, and where should I submit it? Paul Archer -- Paul Archer Senior Systems Administrator Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem Compiling NRPE 2.6 on Fedora Core 5

Hi there -- I got around the issue by recompiling nrpe without ssl support. Once I did that, I then configured the command definition on the server not to use ssl, and then also had the client in question run nrpe in a similar manner. I know that is not a solution but really a workaround. As it

[Nagios-users] popen timeout received, but no child process

My apologies if this has already been discussed here-- a cursory search of the archives didn't turn up much. The issue is discussed at http://www.meulie.net/portal_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7842.last and my installation started throwing this error a couple hours ago after a few weeks

[Nagios-users] NRPE packet buffer limitations

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone had found the proper way to modify nrpe to receive more than the 1024 character limit imposed in MAX_PACKETBUFFER_LENGTH. I adjusted it from 1024 to 1536 and have used this setting for quite some time now and it works; however, graceful connection shutdowns

Re: [Nagios-users] popen timeout received, but no child process

You might try compiling check_ping --without-ipv6, that solved a different problem for me that I was experiencing with check_ping. Also have a read of this thread: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14887381 it had to do with the ipv6 host check, where it would check

[Nagios-users] check_ssh plugin causing too many log messages written in /var/log/messages

Hi, Is there a way to make Nagios stop writing the messages like the following in the /var/log/messages on remote host: Jan 8 10:01:00 serverabc sshd[12110]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer This happens whenever nagios makes a check using

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ssh plugin causing too many log messageswritten in /var/log/messages

Instead of using 'check_ssh', you can use 'check_by_ssh' and just run a simple command like '/bin/ls /tmp' to verify connectivity. This way, the ssh handshake is completed and there's no need to log a 'Read from socket failed' message. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
