Maximum number of arguments in a NRPE check?

[Brettyoke49]

Title says it all. I can't find the maximum number of arguments available in a NRPE check.

If nobody knows what the max is, can anyone confirm if 12 is usable? Is there some kind of placeholder for an "array" of arguments?

you really only need 1 like this

Code: Select all

command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users $ARG1$

but I can pass multiple arguments in the check_nrpe command like this (passing 2):

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 1.1.1.1 -c check_users -a '-w 5 -c 10'

command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users $ARG1$

I'm confused. I asked how many arguments a NRPE check can handle and you tell me I only need one argument???

Sorry, by default it is 16.

I guess what I was answering is this question because you can pass a lot, withing the context of 1 arg
