In case of problems there is a script called <code>verify_pnp_config.pl</code> located on <a href="http://verify.pnp4nagios.org" class="urlextern" title="http://verify.pnp4nagios.org"  rel="nofollow">http://verify.pnp4nagios.org</a>. It enables you to check the configuration settings as well as performance data of hosts or services. It can be used prior and during runtime of PNP.
</p>

<p>
<strong>* ATTENTION </strong>*: It ONLY supports verifying Nagios 3.x and Icinga 1.x as Monitoring core.

The verify script is located on <a href="http://verify.pnp4nagios.org" class="urlextern" title="http://verify.pnp4nagios.org"  rel="nofollow">http://verify.pnp4nagios.org</a> and needs three start options
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> <code>--mode</code> One of the modes described on <a href="/pnp-0.6/modes" class="wikilink1" title="pnp-0.6:modes">modes</a></div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> <code>--config</code> Location of nagios.cfg or icinga.cfg</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> <code>--pnpcfg</code> Path to PNP´s etc directory</div>
</li>
</ul>

<p>

Calling <code>perl verify_pnp_config</code> will show the available options.

Starting with <code>0.6.19-R.37</code> (2013-02-17) the script will accept the option <code>--object</code> (or <code>-o</code>)  followed by a string to specify a host name and/or service description to additionally show performance data (if any) of the object(s) found. The data is enclosed in brackets, followed by the value of the directive <code>process_performance_data</code> (<code>ppd</code>=n).
</p>

<p>
<code>host</code> = show performance information for host <code>host</code> <br/>

<code>;service</code> = show performance information for service <code>service</code> <br/>

<code>host;service</code> = show performance information for service <code>service</code> on host <code>host</code>
</p>

<p>
The strings are taken as regular expressions (perl syntax).
