[Nagiosplug-help] (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

[Grant Lowe]

Hi Kyle,

Except for running check_nrpe on the NRPE client, all the other tests passed.  I'm still having the problem.  If you have any other ideas, please send them my way.  Also, if you know of where I can get the check_nrpe binary, that would be great!

Here's what I do when I need to sort out plugin problems. Note that  
you install the check_nrpe plugin on your clients for testing  
purposes only. If all these things work then you should be golden!

good luck

TO TEST CHECK_NRPE COMMANDS

ON REMOTE HOST (nagios client)

* test check_nrpe plugin
hosta:/usr/local/nagios root# libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.11

* test the local plugin you call from your command which you define  
in nrpe.cfg
hosta:/usr/local/nagios root# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w  
50% -c 5% -p /dev/disk0s9
DISK OK - free space: / 48578 MB (85% inode=84%);| /=8412MB; 
28620;54378;0;57241

* test command defined in nrpe.cfg by running via check_nrpe plugin  
(installed for test purposes only)
hosta:/usr/local/nagios root# libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c  
check_disk_hosta
DISK OK - free space: / 48578 MB (85% inode=84%);| /=8412MB; 
28620;54378;0;57241

ON NAGIOS SERVER
* check the nrpe daemon on remote host
hostb:/usr/local/nagios root# libexec/check_nrpe -H hosta_ip_address
NRPE v2.11

* check the newly setup command via check_nrpe plugin
hostb:/usr/local/nagios root# libexec/check_nrpe -H hosta_ip_address - 
c check_disk_hosta
