After rebooting kraken to take a photo, I found nagios was displaying an error for my smartmon checks: NRPE: Unable to read output.
Running the command by hand on the nagios server, I found:
$ /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_nrpe2 -H kraken -c check_smartmon_ad24 NRPE: Unable to read output
But from the remote server I got:
# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_smartmon -d /dev/ad24 OK: device is functional and stable (temperature: 29)
I restarted npre and the problem went away… not sure what this is yet….
This might help. Add it to /etc/crontab
@reboot root /bin/sleep 60 && /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrpe2 restart
It will restart nrpe 60 seconds after reboot.
see man 5 crontab for details on @reboot:
