<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I inherited a Nagios system and
I am by no means an expert in its configuration, so I apologize in advance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>What I have been seeing for the
last few days is that some of the services I’m monitoring are returning
the following error for every host:</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal>(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be
missing) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some services are performing checks just fine, but others
(most importantly check_ping) give the above error. I’ve tried
googling this and gotten some ideas about file permissions and making sure the Nagios.cfg
file points to the directory where the plugins are located, but I can’t
seem to get this fixed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This all started when I was using the Fruity interface to
make some host changes and upload them to Nagios, I’m not sure if
something got corrupted. The Nagios service starts up without any errors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
