Nrpe Error Message

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

When I ran the command on the remote host as follows:

./check_disk -w 80 -c 60 /dev/hda1

I got the following:

DISK OK - [14786 kB (33%) free on /dev/sda1]

The command syntax in nrpe.cfg file is as follows:

command[check_disk2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10 -c 5
/dev/sda1

I am still getting the incorrect command line arguments supplied error
message on service detail page.

arguments for nrpe go in the nrpe.cfg file on the remote host.

it is a 3 part setup

1. add a service on the nagios server (services.cfg)
2. verify or add a check_nrpe entry on the nagios server (checkcommands.cfg)
3. configure the check on the remote host (test it at the command line first
;) )
