While doing some file work, I accidently botched the directory where nagios resided (I was making a installation package for my network). So thinking nothing of it, I peek real quick to make sure that I'm not missing anything important in the monitoring and recreate it (NRPE) on the two systems (they're shared NFS systems). So I go back to my nagios console to see if everything picked up, and I show 2 unknown in my status summary. Looking at them it's the CHECK_NTP plugin. But when I troubleshoot them, everything seems fine... ---- /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ntp -H tick -w 60 -c 120 NTP OK: Offset 0.004040 secs --- /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ntp -H tick -w 60 -c 120 -v server 10.33.x.x, stratum 2, offset 0.015279, delay 0.04277 ntperr = 0 3 May 10:15:54 ntpdate[9893]: adjust time server 10.33.x.x offset 0.015279 sec ntperr = 0 dc01.x.x.x: timed out, nothing received NTP OK: Offset 0.015279 secs --- But the console states: xxxx Solaris 9 on Sun V240 NTP UNKNOWN 05-03-2006 10:22:34 4d 23h 44m 36s 3/3 NTP UNKNOWN: Jitter too high --- Ideas? Is there a way to fire the command manually (through telnet) that I can try to figure out why it's tossing this event? Anything!!! Thanks!
