I assume this is resolved at this point?

Yes, it seems so. You may close the case on this one, thanks.

I managed to get the recovery emails working, so it looks as if this plugin is successfully installed and effectively monitoring our password protected inter-network share for credential expiration. This experience has taught me more about how these plugins work within Nagios Core and how to manage ...

For this, add we'll need to create a dummy command. Add this to your commands.cfg - # 'check_dummy' command definition define command{ command_name check_dummy command_line $USER1$/check_dummy 0 } Now open the host / service file you just created and look for - define host { use linux-server host_n...

First, I checked the help for the plugin: [root@nagioscore libexec]# ./check_smb_share_AA --help check_smb_share_AA v1.1 ...

Sounds good, let us know the result once you have a chance to check it out. Okay, I got a positive result from the command line for the second one (check_smb_share_AA), so that's great. Now I have to figure out exactly what files to make changes to and what to type in them, lol. Perhaps, since this...
