Bug Description

Binary package hint: nagios3

Executive Summary: check_nt command is setup incorrectly if you intend to fully use the plugin.

In the file /etc/nagios-plugins/config/nt.cfg you find the following:

# 'check_nt' command definition
..........................

The command should read

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$

Otherwise you will not be able to fully use the command to search for services. -p should be configured for the default port instead of being included as an ARG. Otherwise you will get several missing -l switches.

Hi, could you please explain a little more on what was wrong with:
# 'check_nt' command definition
define command {
   command_name check_nt
   command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -v '$ARG1$'
}

The debian maintainer (Jan Wagner) had this to say:
 | Sorry, I looked into LP #595528. I can't reproduce the problem described

 | Anyways ... I'm looking the fix you are using:
 | command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v $ARG1$ -v $ARG2$
 |
 | This seems not to be the solution the reporter proposed and beside that,

 | much. So from my point of view, this bug is invalide and even the actual
 | fix doesn't help much!

I'm going to merge sid version 1.4.15-5, and it seems that the right
thing to do is to drop this change that we made here, unless we fully
understand what it fixes.
