Event Handler Question

[Mathew Walker]

May or may not be related... When testing new plugins and scripts, make sure you're testing them as the "nagios" user the scripts will be running as when integrated w/ Nagios.

I documented what I did for a previous employer awhile back here:
http://www.techadre.com/content/nagios-event-handler-restarting-service

Perhaps something in there may be useful.

I have the event handler defined with 3 macros: $HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTSTATETYPE$ $HOSTADDRESS$ all passed to a wrapper shell script that takes each macro as $1, $2, and $3.  In the >wrapper script I added some echo statements as part of my troubleshooting to figure out why my script wasn't working.  If I run the script manually and pass the arguments as I expect, the script runs fine.  When Nagios executes it, as verified in the log, >nothing is happening and it is because the first 2 arguments are not being passed to the script.  Interestingly, the third one is passed to the script.
