I'm trying to use check_UDP (nagios-plugins 1.4.5) 1.80 but it keeps asking for a send/expect string and I've no idea what this is meant to be? The target server is running syslog and the check so far has just been failing with this: /opt/tools/libexec/check_udp -H 192.168.75.131 -p 514 With UDP checks, a send/expect string must be specified. So I guess my question is simply what should the following be set to: --send=STRING --expect=STRING Thanks - Julian. ******************************************************* Julian Grunnell Unix Analyst TD Waterhouse International Leeds, West Yorkshire Tel: 0113 346 2824 Extn: 32824 Mobex: 52824 ******************************************************* <o:p></o:p> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> Consider the environment.
