Need some help configuring a specific plugin

[logic_bomb421]

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <ip if windows server> -n -c check-ad-account -a LockedOut "ou=MYSPECIFICOU,dc=MYDOMAIN,dc=com"

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

Alright, so when I run the command the way you wrote it (substituting my values of course), my terminal freezes for a second, and then takes on the appearance of a telnet/ssh session.

I.e.:

Code: Select all

root:
root: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <ip if windows server> -n -c check-ad-account -a LockedOut "ou=MYSPECIFICOU,dc=MYDOMAIN,dc=com"
>
>
>
>

Is this what we want it to do?

This was from your first post:

I've installed the .ps1 script in the NSClient++/scripts directory ...

Can you please upload your nsc.ini or nsclient.ini file so we can see how the command is defined on the windows box.

[logic_bomb421]

Alright, this is an exact copy of my nsclient.ini on the server in question.

Code: Select all

# If you want to fill this file with all avalible options run the following command:
#   nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
#   nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help

This config is quite small. You are missing some important entries. For example, you are missing the [/settings/external scripts/wrappings] section:

[/settings/external scripts/wrappings]


; BATCH FILE WRAPPING -
bat = scripts\\%SCRIPT% %ARGS%

; POWERSHELL WRAPPING -
ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts\\%SCRIPT% %ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -

; VISUAL BASIC WRAPPING -
vbs = cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\lib\\wrapper.vbs %SCRIPT% %ARGS%

You may need to run in the CMD (see the top portion of the file):

Code: Select all

nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all

then restart the NSClient++ service.

Sorry for the really lame question, but where exactly do I run that command from?

Thank you

[Box293]

Run this on your Windows server from the NSClient directory (in a command window). There is an nscp.exe file in that directory.

Run this on your Windows server from the NSClient directory (in a command window). There is an nscp.exe file in that directory.

Alright so when I run this, a secondary cmd box pops up that says:

Code: Select all

Failed to parse host NAGIOSSERVERNAME. No such host is known.

[Box293]

Can you post some screenshots to show us how this cmd popup box is appearing.

[logic_bomb421]

It pops up right after I run the command, says the same thing like 3 times, then goes away.

[slansing]

So just to be sure, do the following, open a cmd prompt on the windows server and run:

Code: Select all

cd path\to\install\dir

nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all

As an example, my cd command was directed thusly:

Code: Select all

cd C:\Program Files\NSClient++\

I'm not sure why you would be getting a failure from that command, as it is only intended to expand your config file (not necessary with nsclient++ 0.3.9.x).
