<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Dear Sir; Thank you very much for your help. I have copied the script into /usr/local/nagios/libexec and it 's executable and owned by root user. when i run the script manually, it 's running. But how to: - Write a check command that calls the plugin; if you don’t know it already, you’ll be able to work out the syntax by looking at some of the other check commands in your nagios /etc/ directory, in commands.cfg. - Add a service definition for your iptables host that uses the check command. <div> --- Best Regards,, Mostafa Yasin Linux System Engineer.</div> <hr id="stopSpelling">From: Ian.Rarity@espc.com To: nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 09:10:24 +0000 Subject: Re: [Nagiosplug-help] nagios plugins <style> .ExternalClass p.ecxMsoNormal, .ExternalClass li.ecxMsoNormal, .ExternalClass div.ecxMsoNormal {margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';} .ExternalClass a:link, .ExternalClass span.ecxMsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;text-underline:single;} .ExternalClass a:visited, .ExternalClass span.ecxMsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;text-underline:single;} .ExternalClass p {margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';} .ExternalClass p.ecxMsoListParagraph, .ExternalClass li.ecxMsoListParagraph, .ExternalClass div.ecxMsoListParagraph {margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:36.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';} .ExternalClass span.ecxEmailStyle19 {font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1F497D;} .ExternalClass span.ecxSpellE {;} .ExternalClass .ecxMsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt;} .ExternalClass div.ecxSection1 {page:Section1;} .ExternalClass ol {margin-bottom:0cm;} .ExternalClass ul {margin-bottom:0cm;} </style> <div class="ecxSection1"> You’ll need to: -<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> Copy the script to your plugins directory (/usr/local/nagios/libexec by default) and make sure that it’s executable. -<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> Write a check command that calls the plugin; if you don’t know it already, you’ll be able to work out the syntax by looking at some of the other check commands in your nagios /etc/ directory, in commands.cfg. -<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> Add a service definition for your iptables host that uses the check command.
