Checks with "-" separator not showing in "Available Plugins"

Post by awilson »

Hi. I noticed that we have a few service checks that have a hyphen separating the words in the file name in our ../etc/commands.cfg file

Code: Select all

define command {
       command_name                             check-host-alive
       command_line                             $USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5 -t 60
}

define command {
       command_name                             check-host-alive-http
       command_line                             $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}

define command {
       command_name                             check-host-alive-tftp
       command_line                             tftp $HOSTNAME$ 69
These checks/plugins don't show up in the "Available Plugins" list in the new commands gui. Is that expected?

Thanks

Hi @awilson,

Those are commands definitions, and you'll find them listed in Configure > Commands. You can use the search box in the upper right to locate.

The plugin in for check-host-alive is check_icmp and will be listed under Configure > Quick Tools > Monitoring Plugins.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
