What is the correct syntax for oracle_check_health command if it will be defined manually and user, password, database sid, hostname, port, mode have to be specified. What are the values for warning and critical statuses for this same command? What triggers critical, warning, and normal statuses? We installed oracle client along with oraclequery wizard according to your manual. The install succedded. We can run this oracle_check_health from shell but not within nagiosxi. This is what succeeds in shell:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_health --connect "host=hostname.domain.com;sid=sid_name;port=1521" --username=some_user --password="some_password" --mode=sql --name="select 1 from dual".

We believe that ';' symbol prevents successful execution from nagiosxi. We tried to escape it with '/' and '\' (one at a time), specified it as macro, but no luck...

Please help.

Thanks

I would have to direct you to the plugin developer's site

Thanks, I will check that URL.

How to escape a ';' in NagiosXI's command definition?

Ex string: host=hostname.domain.com;sid=sid_name;port=1521

I am guessing this has to do with escaping as well.

You can try surrounding the $ARG1$ with quotes and then escape the ; in the $ARG1$ like so:
Then set
$ARG1$ = "host=hostname.domain.com\;sid=sid_name\;port=1521"
