Plugin output discrepancy Nagios 2.0b4 (RHEL3 RPM)

[Scott, Casey]

I am trying to use the check_temptraxe plugin. The plugin is configured
as directed:

 

 

services.cfg

 

define service{

        use                             generic-service

        host_name                       temptrax

        service_description             Datacenter Temperature

        is_volatile                     0

        check_period                    24x7

        max_check_attempts              3

        normal_check_interval           3

        retry_check_interval            1

        contact_groups                  datacenter-facilities

        notification_interval           15

        notification_period             24x7

        notification_options            c,r

        check_command                   check_temptraxe!1!75!80

        }

 

checkcommands.cfg

 

define command{

        name            check_temptraxe

        command_name    check_temptraxe

        command_line    $USER1$/check_temptraxe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p
$ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$

        }

 

hosts.cfg

 

define host {

use                            generic-host

host_name                      temptrax

alias                          WotC Datacenter Temperature Probes

address                         10.1.1.85

max_check_attempts             10

notification_interval          120

notification_period            24x7

notification_options           d,u,r

}

 

 

The output is correct for the service portion. 

E.g. /var/log/messages shows "Sep 19 10:25:55 TSUTIL01 nagios: SERVICE
ALERT: temptrax;Datacenter Temperature;OK;HARD;1;Temp Ok: Probe 1 = 74.9
F"

Plugin output in status.dat for the service{} shows ""Temp Ok: Probe 1 =
74.0 F. 

 

However, the host{} portion shows "Error: Incorrect command line
arguments". The error seems to indicate that the check command is being
run without any parameters when the host{} data is collected, but does
run with parameters when service{} data is collected. The error is
displayed for the host's "status information" in Host Detail. Does
anyone have any idea why Nagios is getting 2 different results from the
same plugin? Any help would be appreciated!

 

TIA,
Casey Scott
