Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I have a switch that I am monitoring a port using the "check_iftraffic64.pl" script. Here is my command:
$USER1$/check_iftraffic64.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $COMMUNITYSTRING -u m -i Ethernet1/1 -b 10000 -I 10000 -w 75 -c 85

In nagios this produces a Warning of:
WARNING - MRTG log file is older than maximum allowed threshold

I run the command from the linux command line on the nagios server (as root or as nagios) and get good output...
[nagios@susiesamazingsoulstealer libexec]$ ./check_iftraffic64.pl -H $HOSTNAME -C $COMMUNITYSTRING -u m -i Ethernet1/1 -b 10000 -I 10000 -w 75 -c 85

I have searched this forum but only find reference to the "check_mrtg" command.

Any Assistance would be helpfull,

Thank you,

What plugin version and what Core version are you running? And what OS + version is this on?

What are you seeing in your /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache for that service for the check command (search for the service_description)?

I'm not seeing that message anywhere in the code. Did you restart the nagios process (meaning that it may be using an old check in there)?
