Re: [Nagios-users] Where can arguments go?
It looks like you are using variables in the wrong location. Those should
go in the command definition. See below for a sample, and hopefully you can
adapt it to your specific needs.

I'm going to assume that "check-snmp-switch-alive" is a script that you
have written and that the command from the command-line is:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check-snmp-switch-alive -p
in the host/service definitions, the check_command separates arguments with
the exclamation symbol "!" like this:
> define host {
>namesnmp-switch ; The name of this host
> template

where would be the port number and could be any string of
other options, including "-[a-z]" switches and their arguments. You then
define the command like this:
define command {
command_name check-snmp-switch-alive
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check-snmp-switch-alive
$HOSTNAME$ -p $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

Yes, I would say that this is appropriate for a switch/router. Personally,
I usually don't overwrite the default host check_command since check_ping
is fine, and instead add additional services as needed, such as SNMP checks
to get more info.
Good luck!

Arguments on the check_command line are perfectly valid, however you aren't
using them correctly here.
Example time:
check_command check_tcp!1500
Within a service or host definition, something like this would execute the
defined command 'check_tcp' and pass it a $ARG1$ value of 1500. This would be
used like this:
define command {
command_namecheck_tcp
command_line$USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$
}
This is documented in the Macros section:

David,
You could use something like the check_iftraffic3 plug-in, that would also give
you bandwidth useage.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Where can arguments go?
I'm looking to use a special check command to verify routers are in
operation by checking the main link port of the router (instead of the
default ping). I'm running into confusion, because I need to specify a
port number in the host definition, and I can't really see how to do it.
I use soemthing like this for a template:
define host {
namesnmp-switch ; The name of this host template
use generic-switch
#check_command check-host-alive ; Default command to check if
routers
are "alive"
check_command check-snmp-switch-alive $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
$ARG2$
register0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST
A TEMPLATE
}
I'm not sure the args on the check_command line are legal And I'm not
sure that arguments on a "use snmp-switch" line referencing this could
have arguments on them.
Is this a possible / sane thing to do? Is this the right way to approach
it, or am I missing a way that actually makes sense?
