If this is the nagios plugin that I'm thinking of, you have to pass a parameter that's either "primary" or "secondary", so that the script knows what's acceptable. (This is a deficiency in the script IMHO.) The script also reads /proc/drbd directly, which may not work as expected with the most recent versions of drbd. Fortunately, the nagios plugin is written in Perl, which means it's easy to modify to make it do whatever you want. You could make it set $msg to "Primary" or "Secondary", whichever is in the /proc/drbd file, for instance, and that'd show up on nagios's host info page. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see
