Nagios - Ping - You must specify a server

[Andy Shellam]

Hi Ranjeet,

I see you're trying to use check_nrpe to pass the arguments of 
check_ping to?  It's a case of what exactly are you trying to do here?  
There are 2 things I can see you're trying to do:

1. Ping host $HOSTADDRESS$ from the Nagios machine
2. Send a request via NRPE to another machine to ask it to ping 
$HOSTADDRESS$ and send the result back to the Nagios machine

However you're trying to pass "check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%" as 
arguments to check_nrpe - can you post your check_nrpe command_line as well?

Note that on the machine that's running the NRPE daemon, you must have 
the check_ping command configured, and if you want to be able to pass 
arguments to the NRPE daemon, you must have configured it correctly (see 
the nrpe.cfg file.)

Post your check_nrpe command on yuor Nagios machine, and also your 
nrpe.cfg file from the client.

Andy.
