submit_check_result always critical

[Robert Gil]

The setup is as follows:

1 nagios server in each datacenter would send passive check results to a
central server in the NOC. Right now I am testing on two servers
initially. Both servers are in the same datacenter. Both are running the
same versions of nagios and plugins. 

Nagios01: Central Monitoring Server. Mainly just catching passive
results, displaying the dashboard, and sending notifications.

Nagios02: Distributed nagios server

Configuration:

Nagios02 has the check command defined as follows.

define command{
        command_name    submit_check_result
        command_line
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$
'$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$'
        }

In nagios.cfg

obsess_over_services=1
ocsp_command=submit_check_result

In the submit_check_result script, the print line is as follows.

/usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" |
/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca 10.0.254.248 -c
/usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg

In Nagios01 it is set up to accept passive checks. And they do come in,
but are always critical and with the previous error of "No Output!"




The checks from the distributed server (02) do work when they are run
from the command line.

Im not sure if im missing something or the implementation is being
confused in some way.

Thanks,

Rob

I'm not sure if you got it right. As I understand it your nagios sends
the current check result back to itself, so it's obvious the state never
change.

If you want to do active monitoring you should use an active check, and
if you want to do passive monitoring the command should run on the
remote host (ex. from crontab) and use send_nsca to report back to
nagios (in that case you should have active checks disabled on the
service, and eventually freshness checking)

If you're trying to do something else then please explain.

Thanks,

Thomas
