Yes, we pass arguments all the time to nrpe. I'm just having an issue with a
passing a string that contains spaces.

I'm having a terrible time setting up nrpe to allow me to pass a string with
spaces. This is with nagios 3.x and nrpe 2.0.
The service config is trying to check a log on a remote server for a string
that contains spaces.
The service block has the check_command set to:
check_command
check_log_perl_nofilter_test!/srv/logs/spamnet/log-parser/log-parser.log!/srv/nagios_nrpe/tmp/log-parser.log.out!\"ERROR:
Parent: Fatal error\"
The check_command is set to:
define command {
command_name check_log_perl_nofilter_test
command_line $USER2$/check_nrpe -u -t 30 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c
check_log_perl_nofilter -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$ "$ARG3$"
}
The nrpe config is then:
command[check_log_perl_nofilter]= /srv/nagios_nrpe/scripts/check_log.pl
--filename=$ARG1$ --oldlog=$ARG2$ --query=$ARG3$
If I change the nrpe config to echo the command, so that it looks like:
command[check_log_perl_nofilter]= echo
/srv/nagios_nrpe/scripts/check_log.pl --filename=$ARG1$ --oldlog=$ARG2$
--query=$ARG3$
Then, the output of the echo is:
/srv/nagios_nrpe/scripts/check_log.pl
--filename=/srv/logs/spamnet/log-parser/log-parser.log
--oldlog=/srv/nagios_nrpe/tmp/log-parser.log.out --query=ERROR:
I've tried quoting the $ARG3$ in the nrpe command, and I get the same thing.
I've seed other threads on the list that in order to pass quotes to nrpe, you
must escape them. You can see I've tried that. Any guidance would be
extremely helpful.
Thanks,
Lori Adams
Have you compiled nrpe with the allow command arguments ?
to get the proper syntax do ./configure --help
