The check_command for a host or service definition is a reference to a
command{} definitions command_name, not the direct command line that is
run. You either need to hard-code your '-a foo:bar' to the actual
command{} definition itself like
define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 45 -a
foo:bar
}
Or pass it as an argument from your service{} definition to a properly
configured command{} definition like
define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 45 -a $ARG1$
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_name somehost
service_description MY_HTTP_CHECK
retry_check_interval3
contact_groups whoever
check_command check_http!foo:bar
}
In the above example, 'foo:bar' becomes $ARG1$ and is substituted into
the command_line for the command_name check_http.
