Nagios Support Forum

Hello, this is a noob question.

I need Nagios Core 3.2.3 to monitor drive utilization on 50 Red Hat 5.5 servers via snmp. I have a perl script called "check_snmp_storage.pl" written by Manubulon, that with the configs below gives me
status "Unknown"


command.cfg:

define command{
command_name check_snmp_storage
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_storage.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS $USER7$ -m $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ $ARG4$
}



mysite.cfg:

define host{
use linux-server ; Name of host template to use
; This host definition will inherit all variables that are defined
; in (or inherited by) the linux-server host template definition.
host_name ddcashintmpr
alias localhost
address 162.47.124.x
statusmap_image linux40.gd2
}



define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name linux-servers ; The name of the hostgroup
alias Linux Servers ; Long name of the group
members ddcashintmpr ; Comma separated list of hosts that belong to this group
}



define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name ddcashintmpr
service_description disks
check_command check_snmp_storage!/!80!90
}




No warnings on pre-flight check. Maybe a community string issue?

Any help would be appreciated!

As a matter of record to anyone else having this problem, add the "-C communitystring" as the first argument to your services configuration:

define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name ddcashintmpr,ddcashapp10
service_description disks
check_command check_snmp_storage_v1!-C communitystring!/!80!90!-r
