check_hpasm error <Virus checked>

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi,

can you please login as the nagios user on host miysis and execute
sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help

If you are asked for a password there, then maybe your sudo-configuration
only allows you to call the bare command without any additional command line
options. 
man sudoers says:
       A simple filename allows
       the user to run the command with any arguments he/she
       wishes.  However, you may also specify command line argu­
       ments (including wildcards).  Alternately, you can specify
       "" to indicate that the command may only be run without
       command line arguments. 
Maybe something like that is the reason.

Does /sbin/hpasmcli exist? Is it a link?
What about /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli? Does it run if you call
sudo /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli -s help

The "NRPE. Unable to read output" is typical for such siturations where a
plugin's only output is a "password:". You need to fix the sudo-problem
first.
Another thing is the -v option. This is only for debugging if you call the
plugin as standalone. With -v it outputs some lines of text and nagios will
show the first one ("checking hpasmd process") instead of the last one with
the summary.

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard
