check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!

[Ranjeet Kumar]

Thanks a lot Andy.



It was syntax problem. I did changed to the below one & it's working
now.



command[check_ping]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H localhost

$ARG1$c $ARG2$ -p 5



Can you please give me idea, how to integrated Nagios with MRTG?



Regards,

Ranjeet

Ranjeet,



Only just got this e-mail after I'd replied!



OK this is what's happening. Firstly, check_ping on your Nagios machine

is ignored by nrpe - as that contains it's own command definitions. So,

here:

command[check_ping]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -w

$ARG2$ -c $AGR3$ -p 5



it's expecting the hostname as argument 1, the warning threshold as

argument 2 and the critical threshold as argument 3. (depending on what

your check_nrpe command reads (something like "check_nrpe -H

$HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c $ARG1$"), what Nagios is actually passing is:



"check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%", so your client machine is reading the

host (argument 1) as 100.0,20%, the warning threshold (argument 2) as

500.0,60% and the critical threshold as blank.



Also notice your typo in command[check_ping]: $AGR3$ should be $ARG3$



Andy.
