Is there a reason you can't just use ARG1 as your "all arguments" and pass it in directly? Just quote it properly and it should work. We do this type of thing all the time.
Are you using icinga 2 with director? You can pass it as arguments, but it will only take the first one then and ignore the rest.

Nope. Which tells me that it's an Icinga or Director issue.
If that was the case, it wouldn’t work with NSClient =) and that does.
Could you provide me with on of your setup files, where you use them like that? Especially the part where you mentioned “setting the quotations right” 😊
Thanks
Andreas

We have hundreds of installations for me to go through to find a specific example. Give me a bit. :-)
Of course
Hey there guys,
we are using nrpe for unix-hosts and nsclient for windows-hosts. In the latter they allowed to pass a varible length of arguments with the simple implementation of $ARGS$ - so it knows that all Arguments after "-a" should be considered as one.
So our command config looks like this:
check_filer=check_filer.ps1 $ARGS$
Icinga sends this: '-c' 'check_filer' '-a' '-Path' '\server\share' '-Crit' '5' '-Warn' '10' '-Mode' 'FreePercent' '-Username' 'svc_fileruser' '-Unit' 'gb' '-PerfData' '-CredentialFile'
Icinga is configured through Icinga Director - and it is able to add or remove arguments if needed.
Output works fine.
So now to nrpe - it is sadly not possible to send variable length arguments to nrpe. This would shorten down a lot of the config files as you don't have to configure every little different argument, making a combination of - let's say 10 arguments about 90 different commands you can implement. Simplest way of course is just implement all arguments, but if your script just accept either or this, it's not possible to do it.
Or in the simplest way, let's say we want to change only the warning level, we have to write a new command with -warn $ARG2$ etc.
Could you implement an Argument All in One for NRPE?
so we can trim down from
[command]=command -c something -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ etc. to [command]=command -c something -a $ARGS$
