But your asking that has anyway solved the problem, because it jogged my mind somehow. The check_http plugin outputs dates in U.S. format, and this is not configurable. I had a command definition which passed the output of the plugin through, so what Nagios was getting back was the result code from sed and not from the plugin. I've now written a little wrapper script which saves the result code and all is now sweetness and light. It would be nice if check_http's date output format were configurable :-( Kindest regards, Niall O Broin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
