Nagios Support Forum

Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with the check_snmp_printer which i have downloaded from the nagios exchange.

Basically, downloaded the plugin and loaded in my ubuntu system /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
Run it manually and it works fine.

./check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.1.38 -C public -x "CONSUM ALL" -w 20 -c 10

i have put my command definition in /etc/nagios-plugins/config
define command{
command_name check_snmp_printer
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer -H $HOSTADDRESS -C $ARG1$ -x $ARG2 -w $ARG3$ -c
}

Run the command in /etc/nagios3/conf.d
# Check PRINTER - Consumables
define service {
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
host_name printer_groupmain
service_description Printer Model
check_command check_printer!public!"CONSUM Magenta"!20!10
}

and it comes up with the message

Error: Could not find any host matching 'printer_groupmain' (config file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/printers-service.cfg', starting on line 46)
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/printers-service.cfg', starting on line 46)
Error processing object config files!

Please help. Thanks.

Did you define a host?

The host name is already defined in the separate file. It's been working fine for other services but for this service i have to put it on the same file.
After that, i got an error about the hostgroup. So instead of putting the host name, then i put the hostgroup.
Also i have to correct the command below

define command{
command_name check_snmp_printer
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer -H $HOSTADDRES$S -C $ARG1$ -x $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c
}

It's all working fine after that. I can't believe i just solved the issue here. I have a lot of things to learn about nagios.

Glad you figured it out. Shall we lock up this post?
