Issue in starting nagios daemon while configuring Filecount

[jyoti22]

Hi Team,

To perform file count monitoring, I have copied check_files on client machine under path C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts
and updated nsclient.ini file as

Code: Select all

[/settings/NRPE/server]
NRPEServer = 1
allow arguments = 1
allow nasty meta chars = 1
port = 5666
use SSL = 1

[/settings/external scripts/wrappings]
; Undocumented key
CheckExternalScripts = 1
check_files = cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\lib\\wrapper check_files.vbs %SCRIPT% %ARGS%

On nagios box I created service as below

Code: Select all

define service {
        host_name                       DMSAZTWDAS01
        service_description             Number of files on folder FTP
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_files!/path:"F:\\FTP_Data" /searchdepth:1 /selage:ignore /warning:20 /critical:25
        servicegroups                   SPS_WIN_SERVICE_MON
        initial_state                   u
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_interval                  5
        retry_interval                  1
        check_period                    24x7
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c,r,
        register                        1
        }

Now when I run the "/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" I get error in config

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data definitions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Error while restarting nagios

Can you please help e how can I configure filecount monitoring. Thanks a lot.

It looks like the check_nrpe command is not defined in the commands.cfg file and when nagios loads and it cannot find it, it would cause that error so if it is not defined, you would have to create the command.
I have included an example of the check_nrpe command if you need it.

Code: Select all

define command {
       command_name                  		check_nrpe
       command_line                  		$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
}

If this is where you downloaded the check_files.vbs script
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... nt/details
You may want to look at it for the examples in the file and adjust your server to match.

check_nrpe command is already mentioned in the commands.cfg but still I get the error. And I have given command syntax as per the vbs script

Can you attach or PM your commands.cfg? You may have a typo. It would be strange if it were a permissions issue and that was the only error, but what are the permissions on the commands.cfg? If you PM the file, make sure you update this thread so it comes back up on our support dashboard.

You have the following:

Code: Select all

check_files = cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\lib\\wrapper check_files.vbs %SCRIPT% %ARGS%

under the [/settings/external scripts/wrappings] section. This doesn't look right...

Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

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

Code: Select all

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
...
check_files = cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\lib\\wrapper.vbs check_files.vbs $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$ $ARG11$ $ARG12$ $ARG13$ $ARG14$

Can you show us how the "check_nrpe" is defined on the nagios server?
