I have bash script that returns right results when I run as user nagios manually. It fails as unknown when configured in in nagios configs.

Entries in nagios configs

 define command { 
     command_name   check_s3descrepency
     command_line /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_s3descrepency $ARG1$

 }

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        service_description     Check android_event S3 descrepency
        host_name               nagios-server
        check_command       check_s3descrepency!android_event
}

[root@nagios nagios]# sudo -u nagios /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_s3descrepency android_event
OK - 2014-05-07-22-00 Data size match with pre week 2014-04-30-22-00 by 102%
[root@nagios nagios]# 

Enabled the debug and following is the log

    Check your script for things related to the environment (PATH, etc).

  • Nagios use return code to determined the state of command (OK, Warning, critical, unknown) see documentation. Please post the return codes of the script after executed in shell. References in how-to-check-exit-status-code

Thanks Zoredache. It was env variable.

s3cmd was not in path for nagios user, Added full path in script and it worked like charm.
