I realized, that cups changed it's behavior from sarge to etch. The command did work absolutly fine for sarge, but on etch cups it doesn't. > I eventually found out how to fix it: command_line should read > /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -I '$HOSTADDRESS$' -p 631 Looking at the usage: check_http -H <vhost> | -I <IP-address> This means with "-I" we need an IP ... the problem is, '$HOSTADDRESS$' CAN be an IP, but it DOESN'T HAVE to. Right from the documentation: "You can use a FQDN to identify the host instead of an IP address, but if DNS services are not availble this could cause problems." With "-H" we need a FQDN ... but '$HOSTNAME$' does also not fit the requirement: "This directive is used to define a short name used to identify the host. [...] When used properly, the $HOSTNAME$ macro will contain this short name." This means, it depends heavily on how "host_name" and "address" is used in the host definition, even both variants can lead into a not working check definition. Maybe anybody else has some suggestions.
