Temporary name resoloution failed when creating a sensor

I am trying to create sensors using the following variable in the command but I am getting the attached error every time regardless of the sensor or arguments that I use.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong here?
This has worked on other sensors so it seems like the issue is the command/variable cannot resolve the hostname of the machine it is being attached to.

Hello,
@bkeating178. Please save this configuration as it is, then go to the XI home page, find the service check and see whether it's working or showing the same error.
Could you also send in your Nagios XI System Profile so I can review it?
To send us your system profile. Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and send it to me in a private message.

@bkeating178, I don't think you can pass $HOSTADDRESS$ inside the $ARG1$ macro. It might work on the home page as I mentioned earlier. Please check.
If it doesn't work on the home page, you may need to use the actual IP instead of the $HOSTADDRESS$ or add this macro to the command itself:
Code: Select all
$USER1$/check_postgres.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
And then delete -H $HOSTADDRESS$ from the $ARG1$ field in the service check settings.
