I wrote a post earlier regarding listing the available disks on a remote server using list_disks.pl and NRPE. This time, I’m going to provide a code snippet that you can use to parse that output. The code isn’t very complicated, so I’ll just provide it for your uses. my $list_disks = ‘list_disks’; my $libexec = [...]
I wrote this simple script that I named list_disks.pl to help me configure my hosts. I use it as a NRPE check to query a server for all of its available disks, and parse the output to write configuration files. It is useful for automating host configuration files when the hosts don’t have consistent naming [...]
Theres several things you’ll need to adjust in the default Nagios installation to get NRPE to run privileged commands. Before we start, I’m assuming that you’re using a similar /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file: service nrpe { flags=REUSE socket_type=stream port= 5666 wait=no user=nagios group=nagios server=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe server_args=-n -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i log_on_failure+=USERID disable=no only_from=111.111.111.111 } The things to watch out [...]
