  • 1.  nagios check_load plugin fails with could not parse load from uptime

    Posted Mon October 19, 2020 09:31 PM
    I understand this is a nagios plugin related issue and not an RPM specific issue, but wondering if anyone else has come across this on AIX6.1 or 7.x ?

    The nagios check_load plugin version - v2.2.1 fails with the error:

    # /opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -V
    check_load v2.2.1 (nagios-plugins 2.2.1)
    # /opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
    Could not parse load from uptime:


    Whereas v2.1.1 of the same plugin works.

    # /tmp/check_load -V
    check_load v2.1.1 (nagios-plugins 2.1.1)
    # /tmp/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
    OK - load average: 0.65, 0.99, 0.98|load1=0.650;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.990;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.980;5.000;20.000;0;

    Is anyone aware of any issues or workarounds for this ?
    Thanks

    Nagios check_load command depends on uptime command. 
    Looks like it requires coreutils provided "/opt/freeware/bin/uptime". 
    Please check whether you have coreutils installed or not.

    coreutils wasn't installed and wasn't needed for the old version of the plugin. But you're right, installing coreutils fixed it!
    Thanks
