Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

We are thinking about purchasing Nagios xi, and I am evaluating it from the VM image provided for download. I cannot get check_ldap to work. I have similar setup of Nagios Core on a different machine and ldap-bind checks work fine. Is there a chance someone could help me with this? I specified the base DN, the account DN and password with version 2 of ldap. I get 'Could not bind to the ldap-server' error.

Please help!

Thanks,
Svetlana

svetlana,

What is the exact command you're running in Nagios xi and Nagios Core?

Monitor the service with this command:
check_xi_service_ldap!-b "dc=a,dc=b,dc=c" -D "CN=abc,OU=abc abc,OU=abc,DC=a,DC=b,DC=c" -P "*****************************" -3

I tried this as well:
check_xi_service_ldap!-b "dc=a,dc=b,dc=c" -D "CN=abc,OU=abc abc,OU=abc,DC=a,DC=b,DC=c" -P "*****************************" -2


check_xi_service_ldap command definition in Nagios Core (this is part of the same Nagios xi instance):
$USER1$/check_ldap -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$

I added $ARG2$ to the command because $ARG2$ line underneath command definition in Nagios Core had part of the arguments in $ARG2$ line but that line was not included in the command definition.

Same command configuration and service check "check_ldap -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$" with the same arguments passed work on a different Nagios instance.

Is there anything that has to be configured in open_ldap config file on the same machine whrere Nagios is running?

Thanks for your help.
Svetlana

I got it to work once I defined MACROs for DN and password for the account that reads the ldap directory. Thanks.

Great! Thanks for the feedback!
