Using NRPE to call remote event_handlers

[Mark Pearson]

I am using a sudo in the script as I can run the script that is in the
nrpe.cfg on the machine in question however, when I try to run it via the
check_nrpe command the remote script does not seem to run.

 

1)      How does everyone else restart services on remotely monitored
computers?  i.e. the Nagios monitor is running on a computer in NY and the
remote computer is in CA.  If the httpd service stops how would you use
nagios to restart the service?

2)      Is there a way I can debug the remote client to see where the
problem is?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Hello

 

First nrpe only returns one line from output so if your restarting procedure
returns multiple lines you wont see all the lines from the check_nrpe.

second i see you are passing arguments with -a did you enable nrpe with
command arguments ?

and final you can call sudo before your script "/usr/bin/sudo
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk ..." other then that seems you doing it
perfectly fine
