check_nt configuration

[Mark.Law at thomson.com]

I have a different problem with check_nt.

 

>From the command line:

 

             /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H servername -p 1248  -v
SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l "HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE"

 

works great and returns: 

 

             HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE: Started

 

just like it is supposed to do.  However, when run from nagios it says:

 

             HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE: Unknown

 

The check_nt command definition has been modified like this:

 

             command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l $ARG1$

 

I removed the quotes from around $ARG1$ so that multiple services could
be checked by passing with embedded quotes, like "server","service with
space in the name", etc.

 

This works great on one server running nagios but not the other.  I have
check and re-checked paths, permissions, check_nt versions and am
stumped.

 

Any help out there?

 

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

 

Since you mentioned that you have installed the plugins in a different
location, did you make change to the $USER1$ variable to point it to the
correct location?  To set the variable $USER1$ to
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ you need to edit the resource.cfg.

 

You can also try executing the command to see if it actually works.
Just go to where the check_nt is located and run it.  That would
eliminate a few things.

 

HTH,

 

Jon
