I’ve got the keys set up correctly, and I can issue the check_by_ssh command from the command line and it works. However, when nagios runs the command it ALWAYS returns an OK status; even when I force it to be a WARNING or CRITICAL. It doesn’t appear that the command is ever being ran on the remote system. As a test I set up this command:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> define command {<o:p></o:p> command_name check_ssh<o:p></o:p> command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh –H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C “echo TEST > /tmp/nagios.test”<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Then I set it up in a regular service definition. Its status will come back OK within Nagios, but the /tmp/nagios.test file is never created, so I’m sure the command is not being ran on the remote system.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Again, it works fine from the command line. I’ve tried various options on the check_by_ssh command (-l nagios, -f, etc.) and I’m not getting anywhere. Any ideas?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks<o:p></o:p> John<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p></DIV> __________________________________________________ Virus checked by MessageLabs Virus Control Centre. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
