check_disk_smb Nagios
Hey All,
I have recently implemented nagios 2.7 on fedora core 6. I am trying the plugin check_disk_smb. I can run the command manually from the command line like this.
check_disk_smb -H ipaddress -s sharename -u username -p password
This works fine I get the percentage of disk left. But if I add this command to the commands.cfg file like this
define command{
command_name check_disk_smb
command_line $USER1$/check_disk_smb -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
}
and to the host file like this
define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name host.com
service_description Disk Space
check_command check_disk_smb!sharename!u
}
I get an error everytime either critical error access denied or invalid warning threshold -H
any help is appreciated.

Im sorry I put something wrong above the information I put for the host file is actually in ther services.cfg Nagios automatically pulls the host name from the hosts.cfg. The correct host name is in the hosts file but I don't believe it has to be in the services.cfg file.
you made the modification i was suggest? aqnyway.. you can try change arg1 for arg0 et all
ASKER
when I start out with $ARG0$ the process just skips over it and goes straight to $ARG1$
i thinks is in this way
# 'check_disk_smb' command definition
define command{
command_name check_disk_smb
command_line $USER1$/check_disk_smb -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ -w $ARG4$ -c $ARG5$
}
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name <Hostname>
service_description SMB_Disk
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 15
retry_check_interval 1
process_perf_data 1
contact_groups xxx
servicegroups xxx
check_command check_disk_smb!<sharename>
}

I tried the above and I get an Access Denied error. I know the share, username and password are correct. Because if I run the above manually it works fine. If there some kind of weird thing with nagios that it isn't reading the information right?
just a question... you have a user nagios? you run this command with the user nagios or the user root? please run the command with the user nagios and check if connect anyway
ASKER
Good idea. I tried to swtich users to nagios and I get this. I added the user and group before I installed I don't know why this would happen.
su nagios
This account is currently not available.
su nagios
This account is currently not available.
check in your /etc/passwd if nagios have a shell to login

I just changed the /etc/passwd it was setup for no login. Now I will check and see if the process works
