Re: [Nagios-users] disk checks unreliable

The check is working correctly - /mnt/store is a valid path in both circumstances. Remember, in Unix mounted filesystems all sit on top of the / filesystem, so when you umount the filesystem on /mnt/store, that mountpoint still exists (on /). The way I've done it in the past is by using -r/-R to

service syslog restart did restart the syslog service, however no changes have been made. Logs about NRPE are still going to /var/log/messages, even though I added "local4.* /var/log/nrpe.log" to that file, and the nrpe.cfg I changed it to local4 as well... On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 11:24 AM, Schi

It somewhat depends upon your operating system (and Linux distribution, if you use Linux). On a RedHat based system you may want to try "service syslog restart". Typically syslog reloads its configuration, if you sent him the SIGHUP signal. So you may want to use ps -ef | grep syslog to determi

Hi, it's not nrpe's config file - it's xinetd's config file for the nrpe service. nrpe is started by xinetd as soon as a request from the nagios server arrives. So you simply need to restart xinetd (or reload its configuration). If you still use SYSLOG (and not FILE), then you should configure

I've made the configuration change - now I'm guessing I need to restart NRPE daemon to read in the changed config file. How do I restart NRPE? I want it to run as a daemon, and I believe that it is...there's an nrpe file in /etc/xinte.d/...I already restarted xinted after I made the log file chang

Hi you can change log_facility=daemon to something like log_facility=local4 and add this to your syslog.conf, for example local4.*/var/log/nrpe.log Best regards Martin On Wednesday 05 October 2011 15:13:42 R. Leigh Hennig wrote: > On my remote

These aren't messages from nrpe but from xinetd. You should set the log_type parameter in nrpe's config fiule for the xinetd. Either use SYSLOG with facility local0 and configure syslog to log local0 to a file .../nrpe.log or use FILE as a parameter for the log_type and and the full path to the d
