Description claire robinson 2013-02-07 14:40:14 CET 
See also bug 8799 and bug 8985

Nagios is configured to use certain plugins by default which don't appear to be installed by default so generates alot of warnings in syslog.

Total Processes, Current Load, Current Users, HTTP, PING, SSH, Swap Usage, host

All give warnings similar to this..

nagios: Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'Swap Usage' on host
'localhost' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run
actually exists.

Comment 1 Guillaume Rousse 2013-02-07 21:24:30 CET 
That's just a default configuration issue, easily fixable on user side, which isn't worth an update. I just fixed it in cauldron by adding soft dependencies on related plugins.

Packages are expected to work out of the box without having to correct issues like this.

Comment 3 Samuel Verschelde 2013-08-29 16:41:45 CEST 
Same as bug #8985: little chance it will be fixed in Mageia 2, fixed in Mageia 3, so closing.
