The bold part tells you what the problems is.

Here are some links that explain this error message and some possible solutions:

Hi,

Thank you so much for you reply.

I have this problem with Icinga.

Here is my defined command

Quote:

define command{
command_name check_mrtgtraf
#command_line $USER1$/check_mrtgtraf -F $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -e $ARG5$
command_line $USER1$/check_mrtgtraf -F $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

Here is my defined service.

Quote:

define service {
host_name Switch-Name
service_description Broadcast-Port28
check_command check_mrtgtraf!/var/www/sinet/zyxel/broadcast/Switch-IP_28.log!AVG!170,170!200,200
use bro-services
}

And I try to run command manually

Quote:

# ./check_mrtgtraf -F /var/www/sinet/zyxel/broadcast/Switch-IP_26.log -a AVG -w 170,170 -c 200,200
Traffic OK - Avg. In = 0.0 B/s, Avg. Out = 89.0 B/s|in=0.000000B/s;170.000000;200.000000;0.000000 out=89.000000B/s;170.000000;200.000000;0.000000

I have add many switches already and there is no problem. But when i try to add more i got the following error in icinga.log file.

[1388127560] idomod: Error writing to data sink! Some output may get lost...
[1388127560] idomod: Please check remote ido2db log, database connection or SSL Parameters
[1388127560] error executing command '/usr/local/icinga/libexec/check_mrtgtraf': Argument list too long. Make sure that the file actually exists (in PATH, if set) and is executable!

If i disable the new added file it is OK. But if i enable it back all the switch broadcast services on all switches become Unknown.

Any solution or suggestion ?

Reagars,

Vannath

This might be a configuration issue.

A search came up with this thread: Re: [Nagios-users] Non obvious 127 plugin error (the earlier posts aren't too informative, read from this point on).

I'm not able to give you a working solution, it depends on the overall setup/configuration that is being used.

vannathlab · 12-27-2013, 06:28 AM

Hi,

I am running with Debian Wheezy. Icinga 1.9.3. with MySQL. I i also have some plugin such ash Nagvis and PNP4Nagios.

When i run command to verify the configuration very thing seem fine.

You already read the mails I linked to and tried/investigated what's suggested? I seriously doubt that.....

BTW: The verify command might not pick this up.

vannathlab · 12-29-2013, 09:09 PM

I have read through it for many time and what i understand is we have to run command as user apache. i had tried with www-data user but it is still not work.

Any more advice ??

Thanks,

One specific check is (wrongly) run as user apache in the article. What about selinux, ulimit, bash vs dash and enable_environment_macros that are discussed?

Anyway, besides the hints in the article I don't have anything else that might be of help.

vannathlab · 12-30-2013, 02:35 AM

Yes thank you so much!!

I am using Debian Wheezy so it don't have SELinux as CentOS or RHEL.

Thanks with Regards,
