notification command

Another "Hmmm".. OK, just for sanity you may want to replace your PHP script
with a simple bash script that outputs to a file (like Mathew suggested).
This will at least tell you if you have Nagios configured right to use that
script.

Thanks but I've tried this already, no file created unfortunately. I'm sure
Nagios doesnt run script even the notification command is executed.

Yes I thought that this was a script issue. But please note that this script
works fine and sends mail when executed on command line by Nagios user. So
the differences between command line and Nagios executed script are 2
things:

-          It is being executed by Nagios not manually.

-          I pass some Nagios values to script as argument like $CONTACTS$,
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$, $HOSTADDRESS$ etc.

I would echo the earlier post - add a line like :

echo "I ran" >> /some/log/file

 

to your wrapper and something simlair to your PHP script. Sounds much more
like an issue in the sh script or PHP than a nagios issue.

In fact I've done this like just in the beginning of script I'm using a
/bin/mkdir command but script doesn't create this folder when used as nagios
command. This means that nagios never runs the shell script. But in nagios
log I see that it is called just after the state of check is changed.

Php code..is this launched from the web? Does mail get sent from Nagios
typically?  If this is launched from the web, make sure apache has execute
rights to the script as well.

Hi,

I've written a shell script which is calling a php code and I'm using this
shell script as a notification command.

It runs fine when tested on command line executed by both root and nagios
user. But if used as nagios notification command, I cant receive any mail.

Nagios logs show command is executed but in mail log I cant see any mail
sent.

Owner of script is the nagios user. It is being called by /bin/sh, all
arguments in it is being exported. In nagios documentation it tells any
command which can be run on command line can be used as a nagios misc
command but I couldn't succeed sending mails.

What do you think the problem is or in which log I can see why it doesn't
send mails?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Cem
