CentOS release 6.6 (Final) 64bit, manual install on VMware VM, Nagios XI 2014R2.0 - nothing special.

I developed script for Tomcat monitoring, it works from command line:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_bamsas_tomcat.pl -v -H hds1.prod.bamsas.com --port=8081 --url='/nagios.jsp' --name='Catalina:type=ThreadPool,name="http-nio-8080"' --attr='connectionCount+currentThreadCount+currentThreadsBusy'
OK - connectionCount: 8 |  connectionCount=8 currentThreadCount=161 currentThreadsBusy=2

I created Nagios command and service:

Code: Select all

$USER1$/check_bamsas_tomcat.pl -v -H $HOSTADDRESS$ --port=8081 --url='$ARG1$' --name='$ARG2$' --attr='$ARG3$' $ARG4$ $ARG5$

and tried to use it with args:
$ARG1$ /nagios.jsp
$ARG2$ Catalina:type=ThreadPool,name="http-nio-8080"
$ARG3$ connectionCount+currentThreadCount+currentThreadsBusy
$ARG4$ -w 2048 -c 3072

Test check command returns:

Code: Select all

Testing check from command line...
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_bamsas_tomcat.pl -v -H hds1.prod.bamsas.com --port=8081 --url='/nagios.jsp' --name='Catalina:type=ThreadPool,name="http-nio-8080"' --attr='connectionCount currentThreadCount currentThreadsBusy' -w 2048 -c 3072 
OUTPUT: OK - connectionCount currentThreadCount currentThreadsBusy:  |

So, Nagios removed my "+" from $ARG3$
How can I resolve this issue?

That's wicked strange:

Code: Select all

[jdalrymple@localhost services]$ grep "+" /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat
        check_command=check_dummy!0!this+that!!!!!!
        plugin_output=OK: this+that

What do you get if you fix it in the service description instead of setting it as an arg? I'm not sure where it's getting stripped.

Yes, that's really strange....
I activated service and applied configuration - it works as well. I see all 3 graphs.

[root@nagios libexec]# grep "+" /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat
check_command=bamsas-check-tomcat!/nagios.jsp!Catalina:type=ThreadPool,name="http-nio-8080"!connectionCount+currentThreadCount+currentThreadsBusy!-w 2048 -c 3072!!!!

So, only one thing doesn't work: "Test Check Command" button. I will survive with it

Thank you!

Ahh - test check command should never be relied upon, too much mystical Internet junk at play. I was under the impression that it wasn't in play since we're in the Core forum section.

Locking it up OK?

Yes, looks OK: 3 graphs, 3 gauges - everything is on place.
Please lock it.
