You cannot possibly determine which server is responding using it's uptime output. A more sensible option surely would be it's hostname? #!/bin/bash hostname exit 0 However you're going to run into a lot of trouble trying to use Nagios to monitor a server using its dynamic IP address. I think to start with you need to be looking at a solution such as Dynamic DNS (e.g. No-IP, DynDNS for commercial services, or Bind with DNSSEC/TSIG if you use Bind within your organisation.) Your machines would then change their DNS address when they detect their IP address has changed, and you would definite it's dynamic DNS hostname as the host_name directive to Nagios. Only thing you'd have to watch would be if your DNS service fails, Nagios will fail on everything. Re your last e-mail, please give example outputs of what you see on the command-line and what Nagios says.

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> <pre><hr size="4" width="90%"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
