Since I asked this question already on askubuntu but nobody answered for a week perhaps here somebody knows the answere (https://askubuntu.com/questions/462162/nagios-plugin-check-radius-missing-in-ubuntu-14-04).

I recently updated our Nagios-Server from Ubuntu LTS 12.04.04 to 14.04 - despite I know that this migration is not supported.

Everything works fine but our Radius-Check fails... and now I know why: the executable "check_radius" is missing in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins - it seems to have been deinstalled during upgrade.

Does anybody know why, how to get it back or to replace it?

Since it´s an UDP-Protocol I can´t do a port check.

content of /usr/lib/nagios/plugins:

Download it from here: nagios exchange

You can get a lot of other plugins from there aswell.

Depending on your nagios setup you might need to make the file executable for the nagios daemon user.

As you found out this seems be a bug:

  • Thanks - didn´t know that I could download it so simple. I already checked the changelog but didn´t find anything .... but some seconds ago I found submission "e5fc80f" where simply stands "- check_radius". I´ll write an email to the committer... – cljk May 14 '14 at 07:30
  • @cljk you should check what you download though, allways be suspicious of unknown code. – Dennis Nolte May 14 '14 at 07:37

    Okay, after ~1h of searching I found out there´s already filed a bug report for it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nagios-plugins/+bug/1275495 - existing in precise (http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/precise/amd64/nagios-plugins-standard/filelist) missing in trusty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/trusty/amd64/nagios-plugins-standard/filelist) – cljk May 14 '14 at 08:06
  • added the info to the answer, just in case someone is refering to this. – Dennis Nolte May 14 '14 at 08:12

I used this script

  • "https://gist.github.com/djjudas21/cd1e7bfee44fb879855d#file-check_radius_status-pl"

but still obtaining this message in nagios (UNKNOWN - Could not interrogate RADIUS server status). The Sample response as shown in the script is different

-Sample response

  • Received response ID 183, code 2, length = 344

  • FreeRADIUS-Total-Access-Requests = 517

  • FreeRADIUS-Total-Access-Accepts = 1047

-Real sample response

  • Received Access-Accept Id 162 from 192.168.255.10:18121 to 0.0.0.0:0 length 344

  • FreeRADIUS-Total-Access-Requests = 3191

  • FreeRADIUS-Total-Access-Accepts = 353

So I modified the perl script like this and it works fine. I am not an expert in perl but here are the changes I made.

  • my $return = /bin/echo "Message-Authenticator = 0x00, FreeRADIUS-Statistics-Type = 7" | /usr/bin/radclient $ip:$port status $secret -x ;

..........

  • my @lines = split /\n/, $return;
  • my $message = shift(@lines);
  • my $message1 = shift(@lines);
  • my $message2 = shift(@lines);
  • $message2 = shift(@lines);
  • if ($message2 && $message2 =~ m/^Received Access-Accept Id/) {

.....

......

  • if ($line =~ m/=/ && $line !~ m/^Received Access-Accept Id/) {

Don't forget to activate the status site on the radius server by making a link or copying sites-available/status to sites-enabled

Best regards
