Jarred, I don't know that I would consider myself as an expert in Nagios, but
more of somebody who can definitely get myself into trouble with it.
I think you need to remove '$ARG3$' from the end of your command line
directive. Your service's check_command is not passing a 3rd parameter, and
based on my understanding, you are then passing an argument string of '' which
even though its blank, it sees a literal that it doesn't know how to handle. I
don't have quotes in my Nagios config so maybe it does not like a blank string,
its essentially seeing:
.../check_nt -H 10.0.10.10 -p 12489 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l d ''
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p
12489 -v '$ARG1$' '$ARG2$' '$ARG3$'
...and I don't think it likes what is on the end is my suspicion.
Try changing your debug mode in Nagios to have more verbose logging so you can
see what exactly Nagios is executing and then you can diagnose your problem
better to; you don't want to leave this on for long because it generates a lot
of information very very quickly. I usually use an alternative configuration
if I need to do this that does not have a lot of my normal checks enabled.
If you're excluding warning and critical levels, make sure you know how the
check is going to come back in all cases or force it OK using service tricks;
it does have default levels.
All of my disk space service checks are simply:
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l e -w 80 -c 90
With the command setup as:
define command{
command_name check_nt
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
mySuperSecretPasswordHere -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
I use NSClient++ as well although the end-user client I don't think it will
make to much a difference until the check command will execute; how the client
responds to the argument string is entirely different. I have a similar config
to Keith on my machines which you can deploy and centrally manage through a
GPO. I use allowed hosts and also passwords on the client.
