negate plugin

[Johnson, Jim]

This worked for me:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/negate --ok=CRITICAL --critical=OK -s /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp -n 5 -c 400,50% -w 200,20% -H hostname

OK - hostname: Host unreachable @ 10.xx.xx.xx. rta nan, lost 100%|rta=0.000ms;200.000;400.000;0; pl=100%;20;50;; rtmax=0.000ms;;;; rtmin=0.000ms;;;;

I think you’re missing the -s option to substitute.

Good luck!

hI,

I tried to use plugin "negate" with check_icmp but ther is no inversion of result.

I tried like this

./negate --critical=OK --warning=UNKNOWN /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp -n 5 -c 400,50% -w 200,20% -H hostaddress

the result = CRITICAL - hostaddress: rta nan, lost 100%|rta=0.000ms;200.000;400.000;0; pl=100%;20;50;; rtmax=0.000ms;;;; rtmin=0.000ms;;;;

Nota : i have replaced with a valid address of course :-)

Normally the result would be OK because my server is down ...
