check_traffic plugin

[Ian Masters]

I'm having trouble with the Nagios check_traffic plugin.

If I run the command on the remote host I get good output:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_traffic -H localhost -i 2 -b 1544000 -r
Serial0/0 -w 70 -c 80
Total RX Bytes: 918.86 MB, Total TX Bytes: 615.02 MB<br>Average Traffic:
284.89 B/s (0.0%) in, 247.95 B/s (0.0%) out



But when I run it via nrpe from the Nagios host (server) I'm getting "NRPE:
Unable to read output" error on the GUI console.

On my Nagios host (server) in services.cfg I have:

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use

        host_name   tom,dick,harry
        service_description             Traffic NRPE
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  stafi-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command           check_nrpe!check_traffic!
        }

And in checkcommands.cfg

# 'check_traffic' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_traffic
        command_line    $USER1$/check_traffic -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -i $ARG1$ -b
$ARG2$ -r $ARG3$ -w 70 -c 80
        }

If anyone has an idea what is causing my problem I'd be very grateful for
any suggestions.

Thanks

Ian Masters
