Yesterday I upgraded a server from Debian 9 to Debian 10. This server is supervised with nagios. Since the upgrade, I get an alert, status Unknown saying :
> "Volumegroup array03-0 wasn't valid or wasn't specified with "-v
> Volumegroup", bye. false
The service is VG baie03-0 usage, its command is check_nrpe!check_vgs_array03-0. The goal of this service is to generate an alert if storage on the array is almost full.
check_nrpe command is standard :
# 'check_NRPE' command definition
define command{
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}
If I'm not mistaken, it means that I have a check_vgs_array03-0 command in my /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg on the supervised server. Let's look at it, here it is :
> command[check_vgs_array03-0]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_vg_size -w
> 20 -c 10 -v array03-0
If I just type this command on the supervised server, I have no errors, it works.
> VG array03-0 OK Available space is 805 GB;|
> array03-0=805GB;20;10;0;19155
I got the error if, for example, I type a volumegroup name that doesn't exist.
check_vg_size plugin script goes like this :
#!/bin/bash
#check_vg_size
#set -x

I I use another arg (another script) to the check_nrpe command, it works.
for example :
> root@nagiosserver:/usr/local/nagios# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe
> -H srv-supervised04 -c check_load OK - load average: 3.79, 2.99, 1.83|load1=3.790;25.000;30.000;0; load5=2.990;20.000;25.000;0; load15=1.830;15.000;20.000;0;
VG array03-0 does exist :
> root@srv-supervised04:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name array03-0 System ID Format
> lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 34 VG Access
> read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0
> Cur LV 5 Open LV 4 Max PV
> 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size
> 4903887 Alloc PE / Size 4697600 / 206287 / OgzAMF-DGbW-3t3L-Wk7k-gY1g-s6fH-zYEKad
So. VG does exist. The check_vg_size plugin works when used locally, the check_nrpe command works from the nagios server when used with another plugin but check_vg_size doesn't work from nagios server. Error message is apparently that array03-0 doesn't exist while it does. I haven't changed anything from all the files. It appeared with Debian update from 9 to 10 (during the installation, I decided to keep my nrpe.cfg modified file).
Anyone knows where it can come from ? Debian version ? New bash version maybe ? An incompatibility between the nagios server (still Debian 9) and the supervised one (Debian 10) ?
