Hello again,

For the lib, it’s not a problem – perl -I is a good friend.

But I checked how you get Server type… and, well, I think it can be done in a smarter way:

Hi There,
I’ve tried to use the check_apachestatus_auto.pl Plugin, but it always fails.
The Check is:
./check_apachestatus_auto.pl –hostname “hostname” –url http://”hostname”/server-status?auto
If I tried it with user root and user nagios out of the bash, all works fine.

If i tried to check it via nrpe or online via nagios, I always becomes a failure:

(Service check did not exit properly)

My output in the bash is:
qsargos01:/opt/nagios/libexec # ./check_apachestatus_auto.pl –hostname qsargos01.total.hosting –url http://argos-test.total.hosting/server-status?auto
APACHE OK – 0.028 sec. response time, Busy/Idle 1/74, open 949/1024, ReqPerSec 0.1, BytesPerReq 1289, BytesPerSec 111|Idle=74 Busy=1 OpenSlots=949 Slots=1024 Starting=0 Reading=0 Sending=1 Keepalive=0 DNS=0 Closing=0 Logging=0 Finishing=0 ReqPerSec=0.086761 BytesPerReq=1289 BytesPerSec=111.918873 Accesses=154qsargos01:/opt/nagios/libexec #

It looks like there is a Problem with the output data. Why there is always this line “qsargos01:/opt/nagios/libexec #” directly behind the output?

Thanks in advance

Hi there, I’ve been trying to set this up to monitor Lighttpd but I’ve been experiencing this weird issue where if I run the command locally as one user, I get the correct output. Any subsequent runs by other users get no output. What’s worse, trying to get the results through NRPE yields a “NRPE: Unable to read output” from check_nrpe.

Do you run this check locally or remotely?
