See my host.cfg file contains: define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name Enpaq alias Enpaq members sujith } define host{ host_name sujith alias Enpaq Router address <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> max_check_attempts 1 check_command check_uptime check_period 24x7 contact_groups admin notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r,f } Now service.cfg checks for the services to be runned. And now my problem is that when I run nagios am getting the check_uptime executed and gives me the proper result. Now my problem will arise when nagios gives me some wague output... I mean the output of nagios varies from the uptime that I type in the command line... <div> On 2/28/07, Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists) <<a href="mailto:andy.shellam-lists@mailnetwork.co.uk">andy.shellam-lists@mailnetwork.co.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> What results?

I have exactly the same plugin (written myself with a couple of differences to yours) which runs as a service called "Uptime" on every host - this way it is always run every 5 minutes and shows up-to-date info. The host check is a simple check_ping.

The Service Details > are running good as if now. Are you running this command as both a host check and a service check? If so, that's why you're seeing different output. The host check will only run if a service on it goes to a non-OK state, and probably hasn't run for a few days, when the host had only been up for two minutes. It looks like you've defined the same plugin for two checks. If that's the case, they are never going to match. </blockquote> </div> </div> </div><pre><hr size="4" width="90%"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
