check_nt counter instances issue

[kristhyan]

I’m in trouble with the command check_nt -v INSTANCES
Any query on any counter object generate an output as below:

[root@nagioscore libexec]# ./check_nt -H server -p 12489 -v INSTANCES -l Process
Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process

It never displays the instances name, but repeats the counter object name for the number of instances it contains.
Have you experience of issues like this?

I’m using check_nt version v2.0 (nagios-plugins 2.0) and NSClient++ 0,4,1,102 2013-07-15 on the Windows Server. It happens on all version of Windows I tested (Win 2003, 2008, 2008 r2)

Is it possible for you to try this with NSClient version 0.3.9?

[kristhyan]

Hi Abrist,

I tried with nsclient version 0.3.9.328.
I got a different problem. Below the result of the query:

"NSClient - ERROR: Failed to enumerate counter instances: RESOLVER: EnumObjectInstances: Could not find index: Process : The specified object was not found on the computer. (C0000BB8)"

I tried on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012

Many thanks

Well, there is a bug reported in NSClient++ 0.3.9, so this check won't work in this version. See here:

https://nsclient.org/nscp/ticket/562

I was able to recreate the issue. See below:

Code: Select all

[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s "password" -p 12489 -v CLIENTVERSION
NSClient++ 0.3.9.328 2011-08-16

[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s "password" -p 12489 -v INSTANCES -l Process
NSClient - ERROR: Failed to enumerate counter instances: RESOLVER: EnumObjectInstances: Could not find index: Process : The specified object was not found on the computer.   (C0000BB8)

However, I don't believe this is actually fixed, as I am getting the same errors as you in ver. 0.4.1:

Code: Select all

[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s "password" -p 12489 -v CLIENTVERSION
NSClient++ 0,4,1,102 2013-07-15

[root@testbox libexec]# ./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s "password" -p 12489 -v INSTANCES -l Process
Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process,Process

I would recommend posting a question on the NSClient++ Support Forum, since NSClient++ is not developed or maintained by Nagios.

This is a bug and will be fixed in the next build of 0.4.3 (out in the next 24 hours).
And back ported to 0.4.2 in the next few days.

Cool, thanks for the update.

[kristhyan]

Great news Michael!!
I'll try it as soon it will be available.

Many thanks

Great! I am locking this topic as "resolved" ("will be resolved in the future").
