error with nrpe service checks "Invalid host name" 1 Year, 8 Months ago Karma: 0
Having a problem with Nagios reporting the following error:
Invalid host name 'dueaf'

The command for invoking nrpe:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOSTNAME$

I noted that I used $USER1$ in the past so the command looked like:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTNAME$

I don't know where to define $USER1$?

But it still should take the IP Address and not hostname??

Hi $USER1$ should be defined in resource.cfg in your nagios configuration directory. $HOSTNAME$ will only work with correct dns search configuration. Try using the full qualified domain name or the IP-Address by setting $HOSTADDRESS$ instead.

You can read more about predefined macros at: nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html#hostname
