I defined the command above in the checkcommands.cfg file, in servece.cfg file I just gave the the name of the command To be more explicit here is a part of my services.cfg file : host_name mx1srv3 check_command check_disk_mx1srv3 And this is the concerned part of my checkcommand.cfg file define command{ command_name check_disk_mx1srv3 command_line /usr/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H mx1srv3 -c check_disk1 -w 25% -c 15% } </pre> </blockquote> Looks not so bad, but: Is your NRPE Daemon on the other side configured to handle Arguments? Your command definition gives the arguments -w 25% and -c 15%. First of all, you should have a look at the nrpe.cfg on the remote host and check the command_names. If you want to give the warning and critical thresholds from your checkcommands.cfg through nrpe to your nrpe Daemon on the other side you have to allow the nrpe daemon to handle with arguments (This ist not recommend because of security reasons!!!) If you even want this your checkcommand has to be such: check_nrpe -H mx1srv3 -c check_disk1 -a 25 [SPACE] 15 and the command_name on the remote nrpe.cfg has to interpret these args as $ARG1$ $ARG2$ and so on... If have enabled the argument parsing of nrpe and it just won't work, have a look about the '%' Chars... I am not sure if you have to tell him this chars. Just try the values 25 and 15 instead of 25% and 15%... Another chance is to enable the debug at your nrpe daemon (nrpe.cfg debug=1) and have a look at your system log when nagios connects to. <blockquote cite="mid56f32e2105041104015402d713@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> I also set the specified permissions on the external command file (/var/nagios/rw ) (it belongs to nagios and apache users) Hope my problem is more clear I'll send you any other information you need.

Normaly you define your check_command "PATH/check_nrpe ARGS" in your checkcommands.cfg with a nagios command_name like nrpe and this command_name you should have in your service definition.
