Hey everyone,
First, I'm new, so please be gentle :)

I have made some recent modifications to our nagios3 files. In
resource.cfg I added the following macros: $db_name$, $db_user_name$,
and $db_user_pass$. These seem to be ok.
I added a service like this:
define service {
        hostgroup_name          mysql-servers
        service_description             Mysql FSRW
        check_command           check_mysql_FSRW
        use                             generic-service
        notification_interval           0
}


And finally I added a command like this:
define command {
        command_name                    check_mysql_FSRW
        command_line                    $USER1$/check_mysql_query -q "SELECT 
COUNT(*) FROM
entry WHERE period<DATE_SUB(now(),INTERVAL 2 DAY) AND status_code<2
AND retries=0 AND type=0" -w0:0 -c10 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -P 3306 -d
$db_name$ -u $db_user_name$ -p $db_user_pass$
}

When I have nagios validate everything, it gives no errors. I then
restart nagios for the config to take effect, and it comes up. In the
event log I see some issues with the service (it appears to be trying
to connect to the mysql servers as user nagios, not the specified
user). When I then log back into the server and look at my
services.cfg file, and my commands.cfg file, the entries I added to
both of them have been removed - like they were never there.

So, I guess I have a few questions.

First, are those entries in the resource.cfg file ok? Does nagios
support the underscores and longer names? Its easier to understand at
a glance than $USER3$ $USER4$ and $USER5$.

Second, does the command_line look ok? I'm trying to figure out why it
isn't using the username and password I'm passing to it.

Finally, why do the command and service keep disappearing out of my
config file? It's making it a pain to troubleshoot.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
