1st post to the group, basic q ... I think

[Lance Raymond]

ah, after all the install stuff to fall with something like that was just 
bad!  Well your right, but I am still having a problem.  I read alot on 
hostgroups, etc. and starting writing out the map of what and how so to then 
go back to this, man, I am ready for bed!  But here is the scoop / problem.

The command file is untouched.  There is nothing in the services file as I 
am only testing on one host, so it's in that servername.cfg file.  Once 
things work I can move it, but that box now has the following;


define command{
   command_name check_snmp_load_v1
   command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $USER7$ -T 
$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $$
}
define host{
        use                     linux-server    ; Name of host template to 
use
                                                ; This host definition will 
inherit all variables that are defined
                                                ; in (or inherited by) the 
linux-server host template definition.
        host_name          db1
        alias                   db1
        address               public ip here
        }
define service{
        use                             local-service         ; Name of 
service template to use
        host_name                       bigbird
        service_description             Current Load via SNMP
        check_command                   check_snmp_load_v1
 }

I tried a few things after the _v1 but nagios kept failing on restart, so I 
think I just need to figure out howto push the variables (such as hostIP , 
community name) to the check_command, right?  Since changing the service to 
use the new command, nagios is now red with the following error; Return code 
of 255 is out of bounds

I'm getting closer, as I said some good reading 2nt, but not for this, so 
hopefully someone has a quick answer and I promise to have more intelligent 
questions after  ;)
