I set up a separate command as you said, but I took out the "echo", and
the command executed as expected with the response coming back as:
FTP OK - 0.0003 second response time on port 21 .......
Here are my config files:
Checkcommands.cfg
# 'check_ftp' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ftp
command_line $USER1$/check_ftp -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
Hosts.cfg
########################################################################
##############
# 'dev01' host definition
#
########################################################################
##############
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name dev01
alias dev01
address 10.8.24.170
check_command check-host-alive
contact_groups linux-admins
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 480
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
}
Services.cfg
# Service definition: check_ftp
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name dev01
service_description ftp
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups linux-admins
notification_interval 1440
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_ftp
}
Other services for dev01 work ok, it's just check_ftp that doesn't work.
Thanks in advance,
Bret

Always run plugin tests as the nagios user. Tests as any other user are
not valid.

Look at your host definition. The 'address' is most likely incorrect or
unresolve-able by the nagios user. Check to make sure that you're
testing the plugin in exactly the same way that it's run by nagios. You
can see what nagios is running by echoing your plugin command to a tmp
file like below. If you can't figure it out, please post the complete
host, service and command definitions.
define somecommand {
...
command_line echo "$USER1$/check_ftp <other stuff here>" >>
/tmp/nagios-runs-me }
