Sudoers issue
 

Hi All

I have added a file to sudoers using visudo so that a plugin can be run.

nagios All=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_md_raid

When the plug in called remotely from nagios the returned result is

UNKNOWN: You must be root to run this plugin

Can anyone help here please

Thanks

Glenn

it sounds like you're not actually using sudo in the command.

You should be running these commands under sudo though. if you REALLY need to, then you should actually update the script and run the specific command in the script to use sudo. That way you don't need to embed the sudo optiosn in your nagios config files either.

Urgh. The thought of running a Sudo-level command through Nagios stinks to me.

Thanks for the reply

So how would I add this in the nrpe.cfg file as I can't seem to get it to work. My original command was

command[check_md_raid]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_md_raid

Thanks

Glenn

Fixed that for you :)

don't change that. change the check_md_raid script itself.
