[Nagiosplug-help] How to use negate plugin

[Zoran Milenkovic]

Great!!! Thanks Jeff

If sombody is interested, I'm using it this way:

# 'RecentRebootAlarm' service definition from services.cfg
define service{
        use                               default-service-template
        hostgroup_name                    routers
        service_description               RecentRebootAlarm
        check_command  negated_check_snmp!RFC1213-MIB::sysUpTime.0!public!100000!200000!timeticks
        }

# 'negated_check_snmp' command definition from checkcommands.cfg
# syntax: !hostname!OID!community!warntrshld!crittrshld!unit
define command{
        command_name                    negated_check_snmp
        command_line                    $USER1$/negate 
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -C $ARG2$ 
-w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -l $ARG5$"
        }

and everything's fine and running just in expected way except one little
detail: plugin output is potentially confusing, i.e. if you in your
PROBLEM Alert find plugin output that says *OK* like inhere "Additional
Info: timeticks OK - 9200" but that's not such important :-)


Tnx again,
