Possible Reasons | Troubleshooting Tips |
The performance data format is not in the supported format*
| Please ensure the performance data is defined in the following format: 'label'=value[UOM];[warn];[crit];[min];[max] Refer this documentation |
You get the message:
Error while Executing the Script | The path specified for the Nagios plugin in the nagios_plugins.json file is incorrect. Check that and try again
|
Different arguments and parameters specified in the JSON file is taken as a single monitor | Create multiple copies of the same Nagios plugin with different names.
For eg., Make copies of the check_ping file as check_ping_localhost and check_ping_172001 and use these files in the JSON file
{ "nagios": [ "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping_localhost -H localhost -w 1,1% -c 1,1% -p 5 -t 10 -4", "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping_172001 -H 172.0.0.1 -w 1,1% -c 1,1% -p 5 -t 10 -4" ]

You get the message: <Path>: not found | Mention the actual physical path of the Nagios script file in the Nagios JSON file. |
*Nagios scripts which need to be in the supported format are specific for Linux version 15.0.0 & without this format, we support scripts from version 15.3.0 and above.
