Add a note on how to deal with pnp custom templates based on command args which do not exist anymore in Icinga 2.

Requirements

PNP requires the following

• checkcommand name = pnp template name
• checkcommand!firstarg = pnp custom template command name

In Icinga 1.x it looked like this

check_nrpe!check_disk

Possible solution

By adapting the pnp perfdata template for hosts/services in the PerfdataWriter config like this

SERVICECHECKCOMMAND:$service.check_command$$pnp_check_arg1$

one can simply use a global pnp-svc template with the following settings

• action_url = "...pnp/...."
• enable_perfata = true
• vars.pnp_check_arg1 = ""

On a service apply rule for a specific nrpe checked service, you can then override the value of that argument using the value of the $nrpe_command$ macro.

apply Service "nrpe-check" {
  import "pnp-svc"
  check_command = nrpe
  vars.nrpe_command = "check_disk"

  vars.pnp_check_arg1 = "!$nrpe_command$"
}

Usage in PNP

In PNP, the custom template for nrpe is then defined in /etc/pnp.../custom..../nrpe.cfg and the additional command arg string will be seen in the xml too for other templates.

TODOs

Now one needs to write proper docs and test that theory.
