[Nagiosplug-help] Regarding check_disk

[Teemu Järvenpää]

Hi,

I solved my problem with Suse machine. All I had to do was to enable sudo for nrpe, and give it nopassword right to execute on check_disk. After restarting daemon all worked fine. 

Did this by uncommenting on nrpe.conf this line

command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo

and givin the nagios user sudo right to libexec/check_disk in /etc/sudoers

nagios          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/cehck_disk

  Actually I did ran commands under root, until you've advised to su to Nagios user (completely forgot about it!).

  Now I did all the checks logged as Nagios users, and I have same results - where it's working - it's working, others still don't.

  Could it be somehow related to ssh or probably NIS configuration (since I do have Nagios user created in NIS)?

  How does check_disk plugin work? Does it use "df" cmd or somewhat else?
