Hello,

As asked in my previous post, can you please tell us how you installed it, where you got the package, did you install using your package manager apt-get, dpkg, synaptic, Ubuntu software center?
The script is trying to use yum as package manager which is normally not installed/used on Debian based distros.

Kind regards,

Eric

you right, i used version 0.6.10, the status now is that i downloaded 0.4.14 and after install (./configure->make install->make install-init->make install-conf and changing nagios values)i cant find the script i used before (maybe cause it is debian version and the 0.6.10 was not) could you guide me in checking if the pnp4nagios was installed correct?

Hi,

I'm not familiar with pnp4nagios so I'm not the best reference for this question but I'd imagine since you got errors on compiling that you didn't install pnp4nagios at all. See what the following commands gives you:
Those will look in your path for a binary/executable file with that name and report back to you on the console.

If it's not installed I advice you to download the correct version and take it from zero following for example the link I posted for Ubuntu before.

Kind regards,

Eric

root@monitor:/etc/pnp4nagios# which pnp4nagios
root@monitor:/etc/pnp4nagios# whereis pnp4nagios
pnp4nagios: /etc/pnp4nagios

this is what i get, does that mean it is installed?

Hi,

I'd say no because as far as I know executable files don't get installed in /etc. Can you execute this to see what the file is:
and post the results?

At first hand I'd say the program is not installed.

Kind regards,

Eric

this is what i get in result:

Hi,

That says that it's a directory, not a file, so have a look inside that directory to see what's in there. But I'm quite confident that pnp4nagios didn't install correctly. I just had a look at the link I posted earlier and it should install in /usr/local/pnp4nagios. I advice you to repeat the installation from zero to be sure. Also looking at the mentioned url the verify script when run on Ubuntu states using dpkg as package manager so I'm sure you have versions mixed up, be it script or program or both. Uninstall / delete what you have and start over is about the best advice I think for the moment.

You can check with dpkg -l to see if there's a reference for pnp4nagios on your system:
Kind regards,

Eric

Ok, will do it, can you please though provide me link to the right version to download for my system? i want to install the proper one please.

Hi,

You can download it from Sourceforge here. The version you'll download is 0.6.10 and the last update on Sourceforge dates from 15/12/2010. What a little bit Googling can't do

Apparently there's only a source version so follow the instructions from the link I posted previously.

Kind regards,

Eric

thanks for being so responsive and supportive, i will keep updated, going right now to check it.

ok, i reinstalled (all the nagios configuration stays the same so only compiling and make) and run
verify script ./verify_pnp_config.pl -m NPCD
this is what i get, same...
