Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

recently, I encountered a issue about nagios check plugins.
e.g. check_snmp_load

in command, when I run ./check_snmp_load.pl -H XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -C public -T cisco -w 80,80,80 -c 90,95,100
it's ok and return the correct answer like: CPU: 3 3 3 : OK

but when I begin to use switch.cfg and snmp_load.cfg

here is the snmp_load.cfg content i define
define command {
command_name check_snmp_load
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS -C $ARG1$ -T $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

I define one service like below:
define service{
use xxxx
host_name xxxx
service_description cpu monitor
check_command check_snmp_load!public!cisco!80,80,80!90,95,100
}

and in Nagios, it prompts me that "Invalid check type (-T)! "
Any one knows what's the problem? -T follow with cisco, in command it's OK, why in nagios it can't work??
any one can explain the variable and format in cfg file for the command? tks!!!

for me, it's so strange, i changed the definition as below, then it works.

define command {
command_name check_snmp_load
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS -C $ARG5$ -T $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

define service{
use xxxx
host_name xxxx
service_description cpu monitor
check_command check_snmp_load!cisco!80,80,80!90,95,100 -C public
}


any one can explain the root cause to me? tks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry
i found the explaination by myself
