原因:邮件路径不对
其他的行也更这个类似;最有用的信息我用红色标记,其大意是不能执行上面的2进制或可执行文件。在这个条目中,只有2个执行文件—printf及mail。我把它按原样单独拿出来执行,操作过程如下:
(1)/usr/bin/printf “"%b" "***** Nagios 2.9 *****\n” 输出 ***** Nagios 2.9 *****,这是正常的结果。
(2)/bin/mail -s "Host DOWN alert for mail-server!" sery@163.com 输出su: /bin/mail: No such file or directory,没找到路径或目录。前面还手动发了邮件的,明明有mail这个客户端程序呀!可能这个路径不对,是linux的mail路径。查一下freebsd的mail路径,执行find / -name 得到mail在freebsd的路径为/usr/bin/mail 。
到这里,我们知道了为啥不能发邮件的根本原因,接下来,我把nagios的配置文件commands.cfg的host-notify-by-email、service-notify-by-email的”/bin/mail”替换为“/usr/bin/mail”。其完整形式为:
# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name host-notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.9 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name service-notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.9 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
修改完配置文件commands.cfg后重启 Nagios,再查看nagios日志,不再有“Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists...”报错,并且有发送报警邮件的记录了:
[root@nagios /usr/local/nagios/var]# tail -f nagios.log

收邮件,迫不及待,哈哈,我的163邮箱收到久违的报警信息了。再回去瞧一眼邮件日志/var/log/malllog,也记录了这个发送情况。
经验总结:通过日志记录,对于我们排查故障确实有着不可估量的好处。在实际的工作中,我们应该随时检查系统日志以及应用程序相关的日志,从记录项中寻找蛛丝马迹,从而得出解决问题的方法。
