I am using Nagios 3 plugin ver 1.4.11 on a Debian Etch System
I am trying to add check_dig to do a lookup on our many DNS systems. I added the check_dig to two machines, one is a valid DNS server and the other is a logging server with NO DNS service on it.
The problem I am having is that both systems show the check_dig service check threw the web browser, but the service is green on both of them. It should be green, “ok” on just the valid DNS server.
# 'check_dig' command definition
define command{
command_name check_dig
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dig -h $HOSTADDRESS$ -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -v
}
define service{
use local-service
host_name ns1,logsalot
service_description check_dig
contact_groups networkadmins
check_command check_dig!desert.com!1!2
}
In the status(threw the browser) all i get is:
check_dig v1590 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11)
and if I click on the service I get:
Status Information: check_dig v1590 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11)
