Check issues on Solaris with NRPE not dealing with ARGS

[Brian O'Mahony]

Im setting up nagios to monitor a number of Solaris servers. I am going to be testing processes, load etc, however a lot of my tests are not working. I installed the SUN SPARc package with all the precompiled checks.

On my solaris machine, tests work as nagios user (there was an issue with check_procs, but that was fixed with a new release of the check on monitoring-exchange):

bash-3.00$ ./check_load -w 1,1,1 -c 2,2,2
OK - load average: 0.05, 0.05, 0.05|load1=0.051;1.000;2.000;0; load5=0.051;1.000;2.000;0; load15=0.047;1.000;2.000;0;
bash-3.00$ ./check_procs -w 100 -c 150
PROCS OK: 62 processes
bash-3.00$ id
uid=112(nagios) gid=105(nagios)

>From the nagios-server (running as either root or nagios):

[root at nagios-server servers]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H beatrix -c check_load -a 1,1,1 2,2,2
OK - load average: 0.05, 0.05, 0.05|load1=0.051;1.000;2.000;0; load5=0.051;1.000;2.000;0; load15=0.047;1.000;2.000;0;
[root at nagios-server servers]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H beatrix -c check_procs_total -a 100 150
PROCS OK: 66 processes


Secondly, even though check_load works remotely, it doesn't seem to work in the nagios server tests. Here is my test entry:
# Check CPU Load
define service{
use                     solaris-service-base
hostgroup_name          solaris-base-hostgroup
service_description     CPU Load
check_command           check_nrpe!check_load!1,1,1!2,2,2
#check_command           check_nrpe!check_load!15,10,5!30,25,20
}

# Check Total Processes
define service{
use                     solaris-service-base
hostgroup_name         solaris-base-hostgroup
service_description     Total Processes
check_command           check_nrpe!check_procs_total!150!200
}

And from the nrpe.cfg on the remote server:
command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
command[check_procs_total]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

However if I add
command[check_procs_total2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200
command[check_load2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 1,1,1 -c 2,2,2

These tests show up as OK on the nagios server.

So it looks like the args are not being passed to the solaris box. I just don't understand what im doing wrong here. (I am also looking at check_mem and check_users but have forgon those until I get the issue with the ARGS resolved)

Aby ideas?
