External Scripts

Hopefully a simple one.....

Can anyone tell me the correct command to use in Nagios when using the CheckExternalScripts module?

For instance:

define command {

command_name What goes here? command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c What goes here?

I can't see it documented anywhere.

    it depends a bit, read up on how NRPE works for nagios. Since this is a plugin for nagios (and other systems) I tend to ignore nagios configuration mainly.

    But on the NSCLient++ side: 

    [modules]
NRPEListsner.dll
CheckExternalScripts.dll
...
[External Scripts]
check_es_long=scripts\long.bat

    means you run: 

    check_nrpe ... -c check_es_long

    or possibly if you configure arguments: 

    check_nrpe ... -c check_es_long -a my arg1 arg2 and many many more...

    Hope this helps, there is a lot of documenation for how to configure NRPE for nagios (which is what you are looking for)

      Thanks, that clarifies what I suspected.
