Hi, I'm trying to use check_cisco_ping for some hosts and aside from the $HOSTADDRESS$ it requires the mpls label. Passing an argument to the check_command using !ARGn! notation doesn't work. I think it has something to do with the ARG definition in the manual: "The nth argument passed to the service check command. Nagios supports up to 32 argument macros ($ARG1$ through $ARG32$)."
Arguments are only passed to service checks and not to host checks. There is no service associated with the said hosts. And I think it is not a good idea to just rely on service checks result for those hosts such that hosts can assumed to be up or down because the host checking method will just be a waste to the machine's resource given a huge number of hosts to be checked but the host check commands arent working. Any idea how to handle this? Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
