If I log into remote machine and execute, [nagios@rsomemachine3 libexec]$ ./check_oracle --db playdb1 playdb1 OK - 1 PMON process(es) running but from nagios machine, [nagios@lnxtestsrv1 libexec]$ ./check_oracle --db playdb1 playdb1 Database is DOWN [nagios@lnxtestsrv1 libexec]$ ./check_oracle --tns playdb1 Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid playdb1 I have set the proper ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID , PATH variable both on nagios and remote machine well.
