Macro Identifier and String Mixing

[Scott Sugar]

Even though the nrpe daemons on the remote side do not accept command arguments, your check_nrpe command requires arguments...
 
Your command should look like this.
define command {
    command_name  check_vcs
    command_line  $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 'command you want to run'
}
 
when it says that you cannot send command arguments... they mean that you cannot send command arguments into the remote check you are running (ie. setting the threshold for a check_disk command)

Subject: [Nagios-users] Macro Identifier and String Mixing



Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to mix (i.e. prefix, or
suffix, or backticks substitute)
a macro identifier (as listed in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html)
within the checkcommands.cfg file context (i.e. does it get
expanded)?

E.g.

I would like to do something like

define command {
    command_name  check_vcs_$HOSTNAME$
    command_line  $USER1$/check_nrpe
}


I want it that convoluted because I compiled nrpe daemons on
managed nodes not to accept arguments.
Thus I think I would have to wrap the distinction in the command
name.

Regards
Ralph
