Ran the suggested command and got this response: root@nagios:/# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 1.2.3.4 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l "MSSQL$"$"MICROSOFT##WID" Connection refused could not fetch information from server root@nagios:/# Got the same results pointing to the WSU...

Box293, would this be the correct command to run check_nt?

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H x.x.x.x -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l 'MSSQL\$$MICROSOFT##WID'

Unfortunately it's not resolved. Here is the command:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Thanks. Ended up installing it on CentOS instead and have Core 4.1.1 running. Now I'm just looking for the config migration steps from 3.2.1 -> 4.1.1.

Thanks for the tips and link. Tried both "$$" and \$$. Got a check error. I did rule out that the ## doesn't require an escape. Ran a check with the name MSSQLMICROSOFT##WID and it passed.

We have a Windows Internal Database for WSUS we'd like to monitor. How do we go about monitoring this service due to the special characters in the name?

Thanks for pointing that out, ssax. We're staying with Core and want to migrate to a new vm with Core 4.1.1. Any issues migrating the configuration files to a server on a different IP subnet? Thinking about building the new VM at a different site.

Will Core run on Ubuntu 15.10?

We're running Nagios Core v3.2.0 on a stand alone desktop which is working great. Now we're tasked to make a new Nagios Core server running as a VM. I downloaded the latest OVA 5.2.9-64bit. Can we migrate the configuration from the old to the latest version? Any known issues?

Thanks,
