CheckEventLog Info

[Jonathan Williams]

That is a great resource.  Thanks.  One question I have is on defining the $ARG1$ etc.

For example:

Check for errors by eventid in the last 2 hours.
$ARG1$ = file to check ie. Application, Security, System
$ARG2$ = Max Warn amount
$ARG3$ = Max Critical amount
$ARG4$ = eventID Number

Than:  ./check_nrpe -H $HOSTNAME$ -c CheckEventLog -a filter=new file="$ARG1$" MaxWarn=$ARG2$ MaxCrit=$ARG3$ filter-generated=\<2h filter-eventID==$ARG4$ filter-eventType==error filter=in filter=all

My question is where are these ARG's defined.  Where does NRPE know to lok to determince that ARG4= EventID.  Is there a config for that?  I looked through the different cfg. Files and didn't see that.

Jon

As far as I can see this is a part of the version you are using. If not 
just upgrade to the latest one. For usage take a look here in the 
NSClient++ documentation:
