TCP check more than one port under one service config?

[ikekim]

Hi,

When I create a service to check_tcp, I know I can use "-p 80" for $ARG1$, but would I be able to check multiple ports using the $ARG1$ parameter or $ARG2$?

$USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ and when I use "-p 80" for $ARG1$ parameter, it runs the command
$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_tcp -H 10.155.58.26 -p 80

So this is good, but how can I configure to check multiple ports if that is possible.


thanks,

I'm sorry, that's not possible. The command takes only one argument for port number. You would check multiple ports by configuring multiple instances of the check command.

Okay thanks for the response.

Perhaps, I can write my own plugin?..where would be a good place to learn about writing and creating you own customized plugin?


thanks.

Here's a link to a tutorial on creating a plugin using bash.

Enjoy!
