 |
|
i didn't use the portage to install Nagios 1.0, just downloaded the source from its homepage. I got it all working after some tinkering with Gentoo.
The only problem i am getting is that i can't use the check_ping plugin. It give me this error:
| Code: |
root@lamah ~ # /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1 -w 2000.0,60% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5 -v
==> You've got a big problem buddy! You need more args!!!
Cannot open pipe:
|
No matter what arguments i use it always borks, saying i need more args. Also i've tried the command with nagois user too.
Has anyone installed Nagios and got check_ping to work? |

Hagie..
Have you checked your check_commands.cfg file? I found that I needed to "tweak" some of the commands to fit what I wanted to do. I can do a copy and paste and put it in here if you want although it is a tad long..
let me know

Gavin,
Yeah i know to change the check_command.cfg file, but i'm just trying to execute the check_ping command. So that doesn't really affect what could be wrong. But thanks anyways
