What commands do you have defined in NRPE, and what commands in Nagios are you using to run them?

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               zeus
        service_description     Current Users 2
        check_command           check_nrpe!check_usersa!"-w2 -c3"
        }

Code: Select all

command[check_usersa]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

You either need to push all of your arguments into one $ARGn$ with the "-a" switch in nrpe, or specify the $ARGn$ values separately in the check.
Use -a:

Code: Select all

define service{
            use                     generic-service
            host_name               zeus
            service_description     Current Users 2
            check_command           check_nrpe!check_usersa!-a '-w 2 -c 3'
}

Code: Select all

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

Or pass $ARGn$s independently:

Code: Select all

define service{
            use                     generic-service
            host_name               zeus
            service_description     Current Users 2
            check_command           check_nrpe!check_usersa!2!3"
            }

Code: Select all

command[check_usersa]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

Does that make sense?

with this, that i wanna use i have this error

"check_users: Warning threshold must be a positive integer "

[gabrielsousa]

found what my problem was i had this on commands.cfg

Code: Select all

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

i change to this

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name check_nrpe
        command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}
