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

[Nigel Prentice]

Hello Manohar,
1. When you make changes to the config files it would useful to post the current version. Then everyone monitoring this thread can view it. So please repaste your modified commands.cfg

2. Have you verified that the $USER1$ macro is set correctly for your system? It's somewhere in the configuration files.

3. What are the owner/permissions on check_rbl.pl ?    (#ls -la) Compare with other plugins in the same directory e.g. check_dummy
I notice that when you tested check_rbl.pl, you invoked it with #perl check_rbl.pl  This will work even if the file is read-only i.e. not executable
You should be verifying with #<user1_path>/check_rbl.pl  a.b.c.d

4. The first line of check_rbl.pl (in version 1.1) is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
Does this match the location of perl on your system?    (#which perl)

Regards

  Hi Nigel,

   

  I have tried the below specified definition for that plugin but still it gives out the same error.

   

  (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing) 

   

  Is that a bug in the script while displaying the results, where I doubt it to be with the output formatting of the script. As in this version of Nagios 3.0.5

   

  Thanks

  Manohar

  The command_line directive for the actual plugin looks wrong to me (the return code could be saying Nagios can't find a file of this name). I would expect the directive line to be:

   

  command_line $USER1$/check_rbl $HOSTADDRESS$

   

  That is, no ! character, and a space between the path to the actual command and the hostname argument.

  Good luck!

    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
