Nagios Support Forum

Hi List,

I am able to reproduce this with the current cvs version and build a
small perl script for possible testers:

libexec/epnplugin.pl
#################################
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Test Plugin
#

print "CRITICAL - Test down\n";
exit 3;
#################################

commands.cfg
#################################

define command{
command_name epntest
command_line $USER1$/epnplugin.pl
}

#################################

I think a service definition will not be a problem for the most of the
readers here

(ok... for the case)

##########################################################
define service{
name generic-service-epn
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 2
contact_groups admins
notification_options w,u,c,r
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
register 0
}


# Local service definition template - This is NOT a real service, just a
template!

define service{
name local-service-epn
use generic-service-epn
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
register 0
}


define service{
use local-service-epn
host_name localhost
service_description epntest
check_command epntest
}
