Re: [Nagios-users] Custom perl plugin doesn't work
The first step should be to explain why, on the monitoring machine, it does not detect blah as a command, even when it's only an argument to check_nrpe_1arg. I should be able to call this command on a remote machine through check_nrpe without defining it on the host machine, correct? The host simply looks at the output line...

I didn't even think that this was necessary, since it's really just running check_nrpe_1arg (which is defined in /etc/nagios-plugins/config/check_nrpe.cfg) and passing in the name of the command to the remote host. On the remote host, it has the blah command defined in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg, as such: command[blah]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/blah.pl So, it should call check_nrpe on the monitoring host, which uses the nrpe-server to attempt to run the command through the remote host. Since the command is listed in nrpe.cfg on the remote host, it should see it there, run the actual perl script listed there, and return the output.
