Hi, I'm attempting to implement some custom variables for hosts. Supposedly the external command to change the custom variable for a host is CHANGE_CUSTOM_HOST_VAR with a certain syntax. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't seem to be working.
Nagios receives the command and logs it, but doesn't seem to actually process it. The command given is: -- start script -- #!/bin/sh now=`date +%s` commandfile='/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd' /usr/bin/printf "[%lu] CHANGE_CUSTOM_HOST_VAR;dent;_REPAIRSTATUS;repair\n" $now > $commandfile -- end script -- and nagios logs it with [1223412361] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_CUSTOM_HOST_VAR;dent;_REPAIRSTATUS;repair in nagios.log, so I think it should be working. However, the variable never changes in the status.dat file. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? The documentation doesn't have any other examples, and nothing turns up on google.
