Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am trying to configure the below service but it is not working!!


/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_tcp -H 10.10.10.10 -p 12345 -t 5 -s '<ABCD Version="1" Revision="13" Message="Request" MessageTypeId="1" MessageId="s1"><MessageTypeId>1</MessageTypeId><TRANS_CNT>PER</TRANS_CNT><TRANS_TIME>2014-04-07 00:00:00</TRANS_TIME><TRANS_CUR>978</TRANS_CUR><TRANS_CUR_ORG>604</TRANS_CUR_ORG><TRANS_AMOUNT_ORG>200</TRANS_AMOUNT_ORG><EMV>NO</EMV><Ecomm>ECOM</Ecomm><Amount>200</Amount></ABCD>' -e 'Response'

it worked fine from the command line but when I tried to run it from nagios test check command with the following parameters:

Command view
$USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ $ARG2$

where:
$HOSTADDRESS$ = 10.10.10.10
$ARG1$ = 12345
$ARG2$ = -t 5 -s '<ABCD Version="1" Revision="13" Message="Request" MessageTypeId="1" MessageId="s1"><MessageTypeId>1</MessageTypeId><TRANS_CNT>PER</TRANS_CNT><TRANS_TIME>2014-04-07 00:00:00</TRANS_TIME><TRANS_CUR>978</TRANS_CUR><TRANS_CUR_ORG>604</TRANS_CUR_ORG><TRANS_AMOUNT_ORG>200</TRANS_AMOUNT_ORG><EMV>NO</EMV><Ecomm>ECOM</Ecomm><Amount>200</Amount></ABCD>' -e 'Response'

I got:

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_tcp -H 10.10.10.10 -p 12345 -t 5 -s '\\1\\PER\\2014-04-07 00:00:00\\978\\604\\200\\NO\\ECOM\\200\\' -e 'Response'
OUTPUT: CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 5 seconds

I tried all escape characters and did not work, it is not sending the correct string.
please advise.

Does the check work when run normally by nagios? The test check command is limited and may not test your check correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
And yes it is working normally with nagios.
Issue solved.
