SUDO_ASKPASS when using with Icinga instead of Nagios

[mchlrv]

When using the plugin with Icinga instead of Nagios an error is displayed: "sudo: no askpass program specified, try setting SUDO_ASKPASS" even when running "check_raid.pl -S".

To resolve this edit "/etc/sudoers.d/check_raid" and edit the first config line to "User_Alias CHECK_RAID=icinga".

It would be helpful to be able to specify a username when running "check_raid.pl -S".

Output of check_raid -d:

check_raid 4.0.7

so, under icinga, the plugin is ran with icinga user, not nagios user?

also, could you please post contents of your /etc/sudoers.d/check_raid

[mchlrv]

That is correct, it is running with icinga user.

Here is the output of /etc/sudoers.d/check_raid

i tried to add duplicate line, but that results syntax error:

User_Alias CHECK_RAID=icinga
User_Alias CHECK_RAID=nagios

however, if using comma, does it work for you?

User_Alias CHECK_RAID=icinga, nagios

seems it's valid syntax according to manual:

     # User alias specification
     User_Alias      FULLTIMERS = millert, mikef, dowdy
     User_Alias      PARTTIMERS = bostley, jwfox, crawl
     User_Alias      WEBMASTERS = will, wendy, wim

[mchlrv]

It indeed works perfect, I now have:
User_Alias CHECK_RAID=nagios,icinga
