Nagios check for Dell OpenManage was failing after upgrade to srvadmin 9.2 with:
UNKNOWN: Problem running 'omreport chassis memory': Error: SMStatus: 700 UNKNOWN: Problem running 'omreport chassis batteries': Error! XML Transformation failed UNKNOWN: Problem running 'omreport chassis pwrmonitoring': Error: SMStatus: 700 UNKNOWN: Problem running 'omreport chassis removableflashmedia': Error: SMStatus:
The check command:
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage -s -b ctrl_fw=all/bat_charge=all
Ran fine as root but when run as the ‘nrpe’ user it failed with the error message above.
su - nrpe -s /bin/bash /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage -s -b ctrl_fw=all/bat_charge=all
Solution as per kmscherer on Dell site was to set the permissions on the log files so the user running the NRPE process could write to the logs:
chown nrpe /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/log/openmanage/omcmdlog.xml chown nrpe /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/log/openmanage/UsageReport.xml
Hopefully repeating here helps someone else.
