[Nagiosplug-help] Help with check_nrpe again

[Ian Davidson]

On my monitoring station I have setup a service, as:

# TEST-DISK-SPACE-ON-LINUX-HOSTS
define service {
service_description disk-check
use generic-service
check_command   check_nrpe!check_disk
contact_groups  linux-admins
host_name       dc
}

The check-command is
# 'check_nrpe' command definition
define command{
command_name    check_nrpe
command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS -c
$ARG1$
}

On my remote-host  nrpe.cfg file I have:
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10%
-p /dev/hda1

If I run this command on the remote-host I get a good result.
[dc nagios]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/hda1
DISK OK [35179 kB (79%) free on /dev/hda1]

Also, if I run the check_nrpe command from the monitoring station I get:

[libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H dc -c check_disk
DISK OK [35179 kB (79%) free on /dev/hda1]


However when nagios runs, the status in the service window for the host
'dc' is "Invalid host name '-c'"

I cannot see where this is failing. Maybe looking at the same problem
for hours doesn't help! Can someone point out where I've gone wrong.

Cheers,

Ian
