If you want to use arguments in your commands, you have to edit the commands so they will use the arguments that the Nagios server will pass to the NRPE Agent.

To do that, edit /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg file on the remote server and change the command from

Code: Select all

command[check_disk]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/sda5

to

Code: Select all

command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$

Save the file and restart the nrpe agent.

Without knowing exactly how you defined the check_nrpe command on the Nagios Server, you would have to change your command from

Code: Select all

check_command check_nrpe!check_disk!10%5% -p /dev/sda5

to

Code: Select all

check_command check_nrpe!check_disk!10% 5% /dev/sda5

Save the file and restart nagios and see if the check returns the correct information for the /dev/sda5 partition.

I did that you requested and I'm getting argument, as you can see below



I looked for nrpe.cfg on nagios server but I only find nrpe.cfg on the following location:

/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

with the following content about commands

command[check_users]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
command[check_hda1]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/hda1
command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 150 -c 200

Thanks again for your help

Best regards

Can you run the following commands on the remote server and post the output so we can find the nrpe.cfg file that is in use? Also, can you post how the check_nrpe command is defined on the Nagios server?
It is typically defined in the commands.cfg file.
