[Nagiosplug-help] event handler not running

[Mike Loud]

Benny,

Thank you, I fixed that and now I am no longer getting the error, everything 
APPEARS with no errors, however the small script on the remote side is not 
executing. The event log shows:

Feb  4 09:42:37 nagios nagios: SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: 
mikel2;SSH;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;my_eventhandler!CRITICAL SOFT 2

and on the remote machine if I su - nagios and run the script it runs fine. 
It is just a small echo script into a file, Im searching as much as I can 
for a reason why, but it now looks like everything should be working I would 
think, but the script just doesn’t execute. Any thoughts or things I can 
check to point me in a direction? I am going to keep reasearching. Thanks 
again for your help.



Mike

What is "STATETYPE"?                            ^^^^^^^^^

This is a dead giveaway - Nagios doesn't know what STATETYPE is
either.

Check the available macros again - I think you probably want either
HOSTSTATETYPE or SERVICESTATETYPE.  :)
