Defintions of plugin commands not defined in nrpe.cfg?

[riahc3]

Hello

I was going to use check_uptime but I see it isnt defined in nrpe.cfg First, question: Why?

Second, what is the best or standard way to define all the commands?

Thanks

Hello, @riahc3. Depending on the NRPE build, only some or no services will be defined by default. Here is the definition that you can paste into the nrpe.cfg file:

Code: Select all

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

You can define all other commands in a similar way:

Code: Select all

command[command_name_here]=path/to/the/plugin/ $ARG1$

Then restart the nrpe to apply changes and run this command to test out the command:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_uptime
