Nagios Support Forum

I want use this check_uptime for my linux servers in the first step I copy the file in the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and change the permission to 755 then on the nagios server add this line

define service{
use local-service
host_name testapp
service_description Uptime
check_command check_nrpe!check_uptime!'-w 1 -c 5'
}

but it does not work . what is the problem ?

I am using this :

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... e2/details

On our system on the host, we have a line in the /etc/nrpe.d/base.cfg file as follows-
command[check_uptime]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_uptime -c 5 -w 1

Then within the service config, we have it set to run the check as follows-
define service{
use local-service
host_name testapp
service_description Uptime
check_command check_nrpe!check_uptime
}

This should get you your required results.

I added this in nrpe.cfg

command[check_uptime]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_uptime1 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

and add this to server.cfg in nagios :

define service{
use local-service
host_name server
service_description Uptime
check_command check_nrpe!check_uptime!'-w 1 -c 3'
}

but it return Error: missing or illegal option value in nagios
although while run script in server that is ok :

[root@server ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_uptime1 -w 1 -c 3
OK - uptime is 666 Days, 3 Hours, 03 Minutes

What is the problem ?

Can anyone help me about it ?

Try changing the command definition to the following:
command[check_uptime]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_uptime1 $ARG1$
