What should submit_check_result look like?

[Tero Ripattila]

Hello folks, I'm a bit confused what should submit_check_result command
implementation look like as the one shipped with nagios [1] differs from
the one presented in documentation,
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html> [2].

# SUBMIT_CHECK_RESULT
# Written by Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
# Last Modified: 02-18-2002
#
# This script will write a command to the Nagios command
# file to cause Nagios to process a passive service check
# result.  Note: This script is intended to be run on the
# same host that is running Nagios.  If you want to
# submit passive check results from a remote machine, look
# at using the nsca addon.
#
# Arguments:
#  $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is
#       associated with)
#  $2 = svc_description (Description of the service)
#  $3 = return_code (An integer that determines the state
#       of the service check, 0=OK, 1=WARNING, 2=CRITICAL,
#       3=UNKNOWN).
#  $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used
#       as the plugin output for the service check)
#

echocmd="/bin/echo"

CommandFile="/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd"

# get the current date/time in seconds since UNIX epoch
datetime=`date +%s`

# create the command line to add to the command file
cmdline="[$datetime] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$1;$2;$3;$4"

# append the command to the end of the command file
`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`

#!/bin/sh

# Arguments:
#  $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is
#       associated with)
#  $2 = svc_description (Description of the service)
#  $3 = state_string (A string representing the status of
#       the given service - "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL"
#       or "UNKNOWN")
#  $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used
#       as the plugin output for the service checks)
#

# Convert the state string to the corresponding return code
return_code=-1

case "$3" in
  OK)
    return_code=0
    ;;
  WARNING)
    return_code=1
    ;;
  CRITICAL)
    return_code=2
    ;;
  UNKNOWN)
    return_code=-1
    ;;
esac

# pipe the service check info into the send_nsca program, which
# in turn transmits the data to the nsca daemon on the central
# monitoring server

/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" | /usr/sbin/send_nsca 212.16.101.111 -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg
