[Nagiosplug-help] How do I use check_rbl.pl in Nagios?

[H Manohar rayker]

Hi Ian,

 

Yes I am running this in the command line as root user. But the script and
Nagios execution are under the user Nagios.

 

I tried also with su, it executes fine. 

 

This (check_rbl.pl) is working from the command line, but I don't know how
to define it in the commands.cfg and services.cfg.

Here is the output

 

[nagios at cent-nagios ~]$ su

Password: 

[root at cent-nagios nagios]# perl /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_rbl.pl
mail.xxyxy.com

All OK: SORBS, Distributed Sender, Spamhaus SBL/XBL/PBL, RFC-Ignorant,
SpamCop, Mail-abuse.org

[root at cent-nagios nagios]#

 

 

Before this script there was another shell script for which I defined as
$USER1$sh abc.sh.. something like this, unfortunately there wasn't any
backup of it, which worked, but now I don't remember it.

 

Please help me out.. :-(

 

Thanks

Manohar

The "#" tells me you're running the plugin from the command line as root -
what happens if you su to the Nagios user first, then try running it?

Hi,

 

I am a newbie to Nagios.

 

 

Could anyone please let me know how to configure check_rbl.pl in the
commands,services and the hosts file? This when run in command line

 

# perl check_rbl.pl xxx.yyyyyyyyy.zzz would end up giving the correct
results, but when I configured it in the services it displays "Return code
of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing"

 

 

 

Here is my code in the services.cfg file.

 

# check Mail Server DNS for balcklisting

 

define service{

        use                     generic-service

        host_name               XXXX

        service_description     DNS Blacklist check

        check_command           check_rbl

}

 

 

My commands.cfg file definition is here as follows:

 

############################################################################
####

#       Mail Server - DNS Blacklist Check
#

############################################################################
####

 

# 'Check_rbl' command definition.

define command{

        command_name    check_rbl

        command_line    $USER1$/check_rbl.pl!$HOSTADDRESS$

}

 

 

Please help me out ASAP

 

Thanks

Manohar
