<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I need help to understand what mean "unknown" status.</DIV>
<DIV>Reading the documentation, i found that an unknown status is when Nagios can't retrieve output from the plugin.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Iuse Nagios 1.1 and i have several notifications related to plugin which switch from OK (or critical) state to an unknown state several times in a few minutes.</DIV>
<DIV>The example below is for a check, launch every 5 minutes, the checked process runs (hopefully) and when i try to launch the same command from the nagios server, the plugins answers fine every time !</DIV>
<DIV>If the unknown status is related to the fact that nagios cannot read plugin output, why can it get the comment field ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have this problem for several checks, not the same every time.</DIV>
<DIV>The check in the example below can run silently for a whole day or return alternatively unknown/ok status during hours !</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
