[Nagiosplug-devel] Working on testcases

[Ton Voon]

Hi!

I've been setting up a tinderbox server and I should be in a position  
to make it publicly available by end of next week. This means that  
the testcases are going to get more important, so I'm just fixing  
some of them at the moment.

Question on invalid hostnames:

- if a server does not exist, it looks like check_tcp uses usage2 to  
alert the error. This returns a status of UNKNOWN. The tests  
currently check for CRITICAL. Which should it be? The plugin  
documentation says UNKNOWN is: "Invalid command line arguments were  
supplied to the plugin or the plugin was unable to check the status  
of the given hosts/service", which does suggest hostname invalid, but  
then I'm worried that Nagios needs to be specifically configured to  
alert on unknown states.

Any thoughts?
