That did it. Thanks!

I think you have it backwards, the Test Check is working fine, it's the service page that shows the incorrect status. Test Check returns that the Windows Service is running, the Service detail page displays an error that the Windows Service name cannot be found.

So now it gets a little more interesting...after I surrounded the service name with quotes yesterday all of the services worked and displayed the correct status. This morning I came in and noticed that all of the SQL Named Instance service monitors are again displaying critical with the error "...

It seems to be working fine now that I have it setup.

With that much manual work involved to fix the issue of a special character in the password, I wound up just deleting the services and host, changing the SNMP password so there were no special characters, and re-creating everything.

I had already setup the command, but didn't test it since like I said I didn't know how to setup Nagios to parse the result, but I just went ahead and tested it and it pulls both OK and Critical status' fine, just for reference below is the command I created, the ARGs are as follows: -ARG1 = IMC use...

Unfortunately that's the case, all of the authentication options(user/pass/encryption) for the check_xi_service_ifoperstatu...

I just started a trial of Nagios XI, to re-familiarize myself with it since we're purchasing an NMS platform next month (likely Nagios XI) and I'm having some issues with the first host I added. I started out by adding our biggest switch stack using an SNMP v3 user/password I created for Nagios moni...
