$ARGn$ Macros

[Phil Dibowitz]

I'm a little confused on the $ARGn$ macros:

1. The default "check_ping" definition in checkcommands.cfg takes $ARG1$ 
and $ARG2$ - but the default definitions of services do NOT have 
anything after "check_ping" in the check_command of services.cfg. Thus 
ping fails if you use that model and one must change the command 
definition to "$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 15,25% -c 25,75% 
-p 5" or something similar and hard code those values in.

Furthermore if you DO add anything after "check_command: check_ping" 
then it fails telling you it can't find the command you want.

So how the hell do you pass that on a per-service basis?


I'm having this same problem on a custom command I've made as well...
