server port must be an integer

[jatinder2jatin]

sorry admin/ moderator
just realized i have posted my last post in nagios XI and i could not find option to move here

guys i need help with above error.
attached is error screen + windows.cfg and commands.cfg

I see your commands.cfg contains the following:

Code: Select all

# 'check_nt' command definition
define command{
	command_name	check_nt
	command_line	$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p XXXXXXX -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
	}

The port you specify "XXXXXX" is not realy a port number and should be the port you want to connect to.

hi
that XXXXXXX was my password for the windows client...
i changed it to XXXXX

but you talking about some port.. can you please help


also how can i check if i have check_nt properly installed/configured and is working fine.

[rhassing]

Code: Select all

Usage:
check_nt -H host -v variable [-p port] [-w warning] [-c critical]
[-l params] [-d SHOWALL] [-u](DEPRECATED) [-t timeout]

[rhassing]

Code: Select all

Notes:
 - The NSClient service should be running on the server to get any information
   (http://nsclient.ready2run.nl).
 - Critical thresholds should be lower than warning thresholds
 - Default port 1248 is sometimes in use by other services. The error
   output when this happens contains "Cannot map xxxxx to protocol number".
   One fix for this is to change the port to something else on check_nt 
   and on the client service it's connecting to.

hi rob thanks
i changed the -p value to "-p 1248" and now i am having the socket error.. i believe i have done stupid mistake but me being new here not been able to troubleshoot much
greatful if u can help

[rhassing]

Do you have the nsclient installed on the server you are trying to monitor?

[jatinder2jatin]

yes complete package installed and configured as instructed in the manuals

[rkennedy]

Try changing it to 12489.

To test if the connectivity is working, you could always try to do a telnet to the server on this port:

Code: Select all

telnet 192.168.0.251 1248 

Or maybe you have a firewall installed on the windows server?
