Install Problem

[Ewan Leith]

HOSTADDRESS is set internally by nagios - its the ip address of whatever you
are testing. $ARG1$ $ARG2$ and so on are set in your services definition.


define service{
        host_name       abc
        service_description     users
        check_command   check_users!500!1000
        use defaultaixservice
}

will set ARG1 to be 500 and ARG2 to be 1000
