Escaping " issue

[BanditBBS]

Ok, so I can run this from command line:

Code: Select all

./check_snmp -H 10.6.59.90 -o SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.5528.100.4.2.10.1.7.303280526 -C xxxxxx -P 2c -l "Spot Leak" -s "\"No Leak\""

And I get this back:

Code: Select all

Spot Leak OK - "No Leak" |

But when I put that in $ARG1$ using check_snmp command, it screws up the -s part. The string actually contains double quotes. How can I put that in XI so it performs the command properly?

First question, although I figured you checked this already, you're not testing this with the test command button right?

Otherwise some options I might try:

Code: Select all

./check_snmp -H 10.6.59.90 -o SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.5528.100.4.2.10.1.7.303280526 -C xxxxxx -P 2c -l "Spot Leak" -s \"\"No Leak\"\"

Code: Select all

./check_snmp -H 10.6.59.90 -o SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.5528.100.4.2.10.1.7.303280526 -C xxxxxx -P 2c -l "Spot Leak" -s "\\"No Leak\\""

Code: Select all

./check_snmp -H 10.6.59.90 -o SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.5528.100.4.2.10.1.7.303280526 -C xxxxxx -P 2c -l "Spot Leak" -s \\"\\"No Leak\\"\\"

I was using the test command. it works fine, disregard this entire thread

I knew test command feature had the issue it had to run as apache not as nagios, but didn't realize there was an issue with escaping.

Yep. user restriction, escaping restrictions, you name it. The test check command is really only good for those simple 'vanilla' checks. I will send this thread down the green mile . . .
