Hi Christopher, You must indicate the path of the command perl : /usr/bin/perl <tt>/usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ $HOSTEVENTID$ if you don't have enable EPn.</tt> <tt>Sincerly</tt> Frank [ENVOYE PAR INTERNET] <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Christopher McAtackney <cristoir@gmail.com> 23/03/2009 10:57 <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>A</div> <td>Nagios Users <Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Objet</div> <td>Re: [Nagios-users] Storing Historical Data into Oracle?</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>> 2009/3/20 Marc Powell <marc@ena.com>: >> >> On Mar 20, 2009, at 8:48 AM, Christopher McAtackney wrote: >> >>> to start?

Do you have any idea what I might have done wrong? Here is the setup I've used; In nagios.cfg obsess_over_hosts=1 ochp_command=host_check And then in commands.cfg; define command { command_name host_check command_line /usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ $HOSTEVENTID$ } Finally, my simple Perl script to test the output; #!/usr/bin/perl open MYFILE, ">>data.txt"; print MYFILE "Logging for server $ARGV[0], Event ID: $ARGV[1] \n"; close (MYFILE); Unfortunately, the script is not being called for some reason. I know the script itself is working fine, as I've tested it independently. I've made sure that Nagios is restarted, and the pre-flight check doesn't report any problems. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?
