check_dir_files plugin can't get to work on remote nrpe serv

[scottwilkerson]

Can you show the check_nrpe command definition on the nagios server?

[gmills]

# 'check_dir_files' command definition
define command{
command_name check_dir_files
command_line $USER1$/check_dir_files -d $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -f
}

[scottwilkerson]

This is the definition for check_dir_files

I wanted to see check_nrpe

[gmills]

sorry Scott

}

Change this to

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

then restart nagios

[gmills]

command[check_dir_files]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dir_files.sh -d $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -f

I hope this is what you are looking for

[scottwilkerson]

Did you see this? You need to add $ARG2$

Change this to

Code: Select all

define command{
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

then restart nagios

I just couldn't get the passing of parameters to the NRPE server working. from the logs on the nagios and nrpe servers I can see that parms are being passed, I just couldn't get it working. So, I simply took an alternative work around, please let me know if this is ok. I just created static commands and services for the calling methods. it is working just not the way of passing parameters from the nagios server.
