Nagios Nagios Plugins support

Hi,

Trying to get nagios to complete basic monitoring of a few netware servers. When i have it configured in nagios it always comes up as “UNKNOWN - Nothing to Check!” yet if i manual type the command(on console) in it will return the correct values. I’m not sure if this is something i’m doing wrong with the setup or if the plugin just doesn’t work in nagios.

Console:

user@server: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ # ./check_nwstat -H XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -v CBUFF -w 50000 -c 2000 OK: Total cache buffers = 69494|Cachebuffers=69494;50000;20000;;

Nagios Command:

# 'check_nwstat' Command Def define command { command_name check_nwstat command_line $USER1$/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ v-$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ }

Nagios Service:

define service { host_name fsp1 service_description Cachebuffers check_command check_nwstat!CBUFF!50000!20000 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 10 retry_check_interval 1 active_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 1 check_freshness 0 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c,r notifications_enabled 1 register 1 }

If someone can point out what im doing wrong that would be great.

Thanks

that “user” in user@server is nagios?
Did you paste the complete line? -c is 2000 but in the perdata it’s 20000 (in your service definition too by the way).
Is the check scheduled and executed? any info from the verify-config?

Check is running is nagios. Config verify’s fine.

Yes I missed the end of the line when I copied. sorry.

User is the Nagios user, Setup from the quickstart guide for opensuse.

[code]user@server:/> /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Not having a novell server excluding the “easiest” errors was my only option… do the other checks work or is it only the CBUFF?

SOLVED, the problem. I had a error in my config… thanks for the help.
