It's in the command sent to the Nagios command pipe. See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/extcommands.html http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php > Is there a way to output to both the existing output (the nagios > command file) and a debug output?

I never touched python before, but looks plain simple object-oriented programming. I'd try making the post_results function looks like this: def post_results(host, job, mondata_res, return_code): mytime = time.time() mytime = str(mytime) mytime = mytime[:-3] #print mondata_res output = open('/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd', 'w') debug_out = open('/tmp/services-debug.out, 'a') results = "[" + mytime + "] " + "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;" \ + host + ";" + job + ";" \ + return_code + ";" + mondata_res + "\n" output.write(results) debug_out.write(results) The change are oppening a 2nd file in append mode: debug_out = open('/tmp/services-debug.out, 'a') And then writing the same thing as the nagios out to it: debug_out.write(results) As soon as it fails check the end of that file, you should see the same thing as what nagios received. If the [time] part is the problem thoug I can't really help. This is the part that generated the time part: mytime = time.time() mytime = str(mytime) mytime = mytime[:-3] - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIoQIx6dZ+Kt5BchYRAkQLAJ9M1m7clEuSL9LjEEwNM6hV7gCrdwCgsfK7 M0W2J7uXH1Xcbrck7Tn3ZEA= =XWSo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
