Support for '-str' ARGs be allowed in SVC defn ARG lists

Post by santosltd »

Currently NagiosXI does not allow '-' prefixed arguments in ARG lists in service definitions. This makes support for useful plugins like 'check_multi' difficult - where every variable definition passed on the command line to check multi must be prefixed by '-s'

eg. in a service definition that calls the check_multi plugin - you cannot define an ARG list like this:

-s VAR1=VAL1 -s VAR2=VAL2 .. etc

I have had to write a wrapper that is called by Nagios to replace VAR1=VAL1,VAR2=VAL2 lists into the above format.

Please allow the use of '-' prefixed arguments in ARG lists in the NagiosXI GUI

Thanks
