At the moment it's not so easy to define checks where a CRITICAL is OK.

Example: I want to check if SSH is disabled on our ESXi servers. If I define a command ssh_disabled like this in director

command: negate check_ssh

I get this in the preview:

object CheckCommand "ssh_disabled" { import "plugin-check-command" command = [ PluginDir + "/negate", "check_ssh" ] arguments = { "-H" = "$address$" } }

Check result is:

negate: Require path to command

I have to define the command like this:

command: negate /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ssh

Preview is then

object CheckCommand "ssh_disabled" { import "plugin-check-command" command = [ PluginDir + "/negate", "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ssh" ] arguments = { "-H" = "$address$" } }

And the check works as expected. But PluginDir is neglected for the check command (check_ssh). I think it might be better to configure this as service. With a checkbox/option and perhaps some flags for negate in the service dialog.

It would be even better if we could also convert a warning to critical for example!
