After some research, I determined that the best way to accomplish this is through using NRPE. I downloaded the package here: <a href="https://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins/Operating-Systems/AIX/AIX-5-3-NRPE-2-12-NSCA-2-7-2-Nagios-Plugins-1-4-11">https://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins/Operating-Systems/AIX/AIX-5-3-NRPE-2-12-NSCA-2-7-2-Nagios-Plugins-1-4-11</a> and followed instructions here <a href="http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Nagios_NRPE_on_AIX">http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Nagios_NRPE_on_AIX</a> to install NRPE on the AIX system. I then found an item in the nagios-users archive that suggested that I needed to install sudo on the AIX system and change the NRPE config to use sudo for the commands. <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg31668.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg31668.html</a><o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>I have my nagios server’s IP in the allowed_hosts list within nrpe.cfg<o:p></o:p>I also have this set (per instructions in below link) command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>At this point – when I run one of the check (check_disk) scripts locally (on the AIX system) that the NRPE package installed, I am able to get a result<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p># check_disk -w 85 -c 95<o:p></o:p>DISK CRITICAL - free space: / 307 MB (79% inode=98%); (only copied the first item, but there was a lot of output)<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>However, I cannot seem to get my check from my Nagios system to work properly.<o:p></o:p>nagios@UbuntuTest:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.3.15 -n -c check_aix_disks<o:p></o:p>NRPE: Unable to read output<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>The corresponding command in the nrpe.cfg on the AIX system: command[check_aix_disks]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10m -c 2m -x /proc<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>At this point, I’m unsure of what I need to do in order to get this working.
