I'm guessing you're using Nagios 3, in which case make sure to read the 3.0 documentation: <a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html</a> <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 3:50 PM, Jonathan Bayles <<a href="mailto:jbayles@readytechs.com">jbayles@readytechs.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I was able to get my setup working. I noticed in the distributed doc <a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html</a> define command{ command_name submit_check_result command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$OUTPUT$' } Should probably be: define command{ command_name submit_check_result command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' } The change being $OUTPUT$ to $SERVICEOUTPUT$. This seemed to fix things for me.
