Hi,

The user nagios loads the environment variable automatically from /etc/profile .
The plugin is executed on the nagios server and it connects to the oracle directly on port 1512
Can you give me example on how to execute the command if I add the /.bashrc file in nagios home dir.

The easiest solution would be to have your nagios user load the profile of your Oracle user. On my system, both the oracle and nagios user have bash for their shell, so I copy oracle's .bashrc to nagios' home dir. If you are executing your commands via nrpe, you need to precede each of your oracle plugin commands with . ~nagios/.bashrc; in order for all those Oracle related environment variables to be properly set.

Also, you might need to add the nagios user to whatever group your oracle user account is in in order for the nagios user to be able to read Oracle's logs and files.

Hello,

Is there a way to load environment variables to nagios?

I have set up check_oracle_health in my nagios but it does not work:
Nagios gives me the following message:
CRITICAL - cannot connect to nagios. ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
Which means that nagios cannot find the environment variable TNS_ADMIN which I have defined in /etc/profiles

If I try manually as user nagios I get:
[nagios at nagios root]$ /usr/local/nagios/plugins/check_oracle_health --connect=nagios --user=nagios --password=pass --mode=tnsping
OK - connection established to nagios.

The TNS_ADMIN env seems to be ok:
[nagios at nagios root]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN
/usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client64/bin/network/admin
