i am still trying to set up the Palo Alto check. I t has been awhile do to the time it has taken to get the Palos in place. Anyway, i have some of the checks working, but for some reason uptime is not responding properly in the GUI, but it does at the CLI.

this is from the CLI:
[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_paloalto 192.168.98.238 WHRO-RO uptime
0 days, 1 hours, 33 minutes, 42 seconds
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@nagios libexec]#


This is from the gui Check: I have the host the same as above
[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_paloalto $hostaddress$ WHRO-RO uptime
0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds

Here is the help command from the CLI:
[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_paloalto --help

Warning: Wrong command line arguments.
Usage: ./check_paloalto <hostname> <community> <part> <warning> <critical>

Parts are: load, sessionuse, state, uptime, fan, temp
Example: ./check_paloalto 127.0.0.1 public uptime

Here is what I have set as the command in XI:
$USER1$/check_paloalto $hostaddress$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$

The macros are case sensitive. Instead of:

$USER1$/check_paloalto $hostaddress$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$

use:

$USER1$/check_paloalto $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$

Okay, i will make the change, but it works with load as the part. But i will make the change and report back.

Well blow my skirt up, that made it report uptime properly, thank you

I would like to leave this open as I put in the other checks tomorrow, just in case there are other issues.

Absolutely. We'll wait to hear back from you.

Well all seems to be right with the world, but I do have one other issue with this. My utilization always shows 0%, yet that is not what the Palo shows me, it is at 2-3%

Any Ideas?

What command/args are you using when getting 0%

[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_paloalto 192.168.98.238 WHRO-RO load 5 10
Utilization: 0%
OK: Utilization=0%|'Utilization'=0%;5;10;0;100

$USER1$/check_paloalto $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$

Can you share your plugin, because the one I just downloaded from here looks like it requires flags for the args, so they must not be the same
